Tangentially related - I hit my head last year and lost almost all low frequency hearing on my left side. (I had an existing loss, and had almost no high frequency hearing on the other side already.) Everyone sounded like a chipmunk for a while. A year in, and I am no longer subjectively aware of any difference. I still struggle with direction - which way is that siren? But music sounds like it used to, subjectively. People who I know sound familiar - exactly like they used to. But I have trouble identifying the sex of new people on the phone now. It's very surreal how stable my subjective experience of reality remained, how the brain has sort of just patched over the missing bits. The reports about how people can become accustomed to glasses that flip vision in just days, etc., are much more believable to me now.
