Hi all,
Normally my hearing in right ear is significantly worse than my left ear, especially in higher frequencies. This also means that my T is in general louder on the right side. However this night I suddenly experienced an extremely severe spike in T in my left ear, I'd say that the volume went up 500% (maybe to 70-75 db) and it was way louder (300%) than my right ear, this normally never happens. Therefore I woke up and noted that I couldn't hear the fan sound of my computer with my good ear (left) but I easily could with my bad ear (right). Also some high pitched sound in the bathroom could only be heard with my right ear. Other louder sounds (such as a youtube video) could be heard with both ears, so it's not that I was deaf in my left ear or something.
About 1,5 hours later that T spike in my left ear is gone and it seems that my hearing ability also returned to normal in my left ear. My question is:
Is it possible that the very loud T spike in my left ear prevented me from hearing certain noises as the T completely masked the external noise or did I have SSHL in my left ear that recovered within a couple of hours?
