This is me. 28, had mild hearing loss for about 3 years now in one ear due to a bad ear infection. I can get by fine, however I'm definitely missing out on a lot of "richness" of sound. I can't hear high pitched noises, or subtle differences between noises in my left ear at all. And everything in general is a little muted. Since I can hear perfectly find out of my right ear I'm not convinced spending thousands of dollars is worth it.
I would spend $10,000+ if my tinnitus could be cured permanently though.
- dfinninger 5y agoI'd take that tinnitus treatment in a heartbeat. The drumming-on-the-back-of-the-skull trick lasts just long enough for me to realize what the world could sound like. (I tend to not do it anymore due to the mild depression I get realizing how fleeting the relief is)
- babarganesh 5y agoi'd pay way more than 100k for a tinnitus cure. it would be worth significantly delaying retirement for. but there's nothing on the horizon. and yes, i have adapted to it well enough that it doesn't cause me anxiety and don't notice it 98% of the time. i just miss pure hearing.
