SSNHL with Sound Distortion / Crackling - Why??

I developed muffed, clogged hearing six weeks after recovering from Covid. We flew to Hawaii. After getting off the plane my ears never “popped” back to normal. That was three years ago. Since then it has developed into pressure in my head, tinnitus and hyperacusis and hearing loss.
My own voice seems very muffled, like I’m down a hole or under water. What I hear is distorted. Most music sounds tinny, and I have a lot of trouble understanding people. I wear hearing aids now but they don’t help much.
I have seen multiple ENT doctors, audiologists, Neurologists....nobody has answers. I also have impaired vision and extreme constipation.
I attribute all to the after effects of Covid 19.
It really sucks. I continue to seek answers but nobody really knows how to help. My life is nothing like it was before I had Covid.

I'm so sorry to hear this. My life has been horrible since my infection too. Do you have Cochlear Synaptopathy (hidden hearing loss), recruitment, or Auditory Nuerothopy? What is the best answer that you have so far? Do you belong to any support groups on Facebook where we could chat more since we have this rare similar problem?
