I've seen an ENT about this, and the graph was slightly worse on my right side lower frequencies (although I remember missing two beeps because I was nervous..), but he said it should be hard to notice, I'm annoyed since I don't have access to the graph so don't remember exactly! I'm interested to know if anyone has experienced something similar. My hearing day to day is good, but if I'm to put a finger in my better ear, everything sounds echoey, and (hear me out) If I am to lightly drag the tip of my finger nail down the 'tragus' (the bit you can push in with your finger to 'block' your ears, I discovered this by accident but it's a good example) My better one sounds a lot clearer. It's not earwax or anything middle ear like, since that got checked. Could anxiety genuinely be causing some of this distortion? Also, I'm interested to know if anyone else finds a difference with the tragus thing, since it may just be normal when a sound is so close and isolated to hear a difference! I also hear a pulse in this ear, which could potentially be due to a tight neck compressing something, whether or not that could cause distortion I'm not sure.
