I have developed a sudden change in my hearing and your description (tuner between 2 radio stations) is exactly what it sounds like. I can hear someone talking but can't make out the words clearly due to the distortion. Their (and my) speech sounds like it has been filtered through an electronic device to distort it. I already wear hearing aids and have profound hearing loss above 1000Hz.

This is different and happened progressively over the past month or so. At first, I thought it was just a sinus infection or cold as I have had a lot of mucus, esp in the morning. But my sinuses have been pretty much clear for the past week. Planning to see an ENT this week to have this checked out, but based on the posts, I gather this may not likely be effective in identifying what has happened or provide an effective therapeutic.

Taking Motrin has made a small temporary improvement. I also take a Zn tablet and Vit D3 in the morning. Have noticed the problem is most noticeable in the evening. Linkage or just the effects of wearing HA all day? Virus effect?
