SSNHL with Sound Distortion / Crackling - Why??

My own voice sounds distorted eversince an ear infection in 2020. I'll get intermittent screech noises that last the fraction of a second. So many Drs don't care ... my problem was caused from a Dr. Not giving me an antibiotic in time... and now other doctors act like it's no big deal. I literally went from happy to feeling no joy... if my voice sounds like a broken speaker how can I enjoy a conversation... when I speak it makes me cringe and feel delated, depressed, and hopeless... I would never off my self but I don't enjoy ANYTHING ANYMORE! 🙁 I have a normal audiogram but tinnitus and a distorted voice... tinnitus I can ignore tinnitus but when my voice sounds distorted I CANNOT get used to this.

I want this problem to go away SO BAD! I was a happy person before this happened and now this condition makes it so I don't want to speak. I hear my normal voice simultaneously with: a very quick & high pitched screech, or my voice sounds fuzzy, crackley and only to my ears. This problem has literally taken all joy away from my life and all 7 ENTs act like: "hmmm I'm note sure what to tell you" ME: I'm not happy anymore and this makes me not want to speak Dr. I'm sorry about that I wish you luck. EVERY DR. IS NOT HELPING ME! I cried on the phone begging for help! NOBODY CARES! ONE ENT TOLD HIS NURSE HE DOESNT HAVE THE BANDWIDTH FOR MY PROBLEM (HE GRADUATED FROM AN IVY LEAGUE COLLEGE & STILL IS A HORRIBLE DR. I went to Johns Hopkins and the Mayo Clinic and they were both NO HELP!!!!

I know exactly how you feel.
It is so isolating to not want to speak and to have whatever you hear distorted! No joy in life anymore. I was very active with a social life and involvement in my family life....no more.
Life has passed me by for three years. I have seen dozens of doctors who have no answers.
