Anyone else find music with SSHL off key?

Yes I have noticed that as my hearing loss got worse that music does appear off key. It is especially noticeable with old church songs I grew up with and now it is quite different listening to the Melodie’s. I just assumed it was due to hearing loss. Even with very good hearing aids it is not the same. I have found out that everything is just noise and that our brains have to separate things out. Anyone else notice this?

Yes definitely music sounds off key even with expensive hearing aids. On the other hand the phantom music I hear is always right on key.

Oh, it's just awful, especially listening to music that is new to me. When I'm familiar with the music my brain fills in the tones my ears can't hear. But with music I don't know, I'm helpless. Hearing aids are set to reproduce speech, not the full richness of music. My understanding is that one can get tech (headsets, ear buds etc.) that captures the full range of musical tones, which is great, but doesn't help with live music.

I’m so sorry. 😞 I have SSHL in one ear and I’m a music professor with highly trained ears. Yes. My poor ear hears the pitches, quality, and timbre differently than my healthy ear. You are not alone.

And I should add it’s not every pitch but only certain pitches that are out of tune with my poor ear.

i don't know what SSHL is. that said. i have tinnitus in both ears. but more so my left ear. the things i find interesting is that if i shake my head no. i can hear what sounds like a bell ringing. also when i wake up early in the morning. where it's nice and quiet i hear what sounds like birds singing. but this is in the winter, with the window closed and a snowstorm. no birds around. also i've noticed lately that everyone around me sounds like Alvin & the Chipmunks. which is really funny. bizarre.

I don’t know what SSHL means. However, when I read your post it reminded me of a friend who is a trained choir director and singer. She has a hearing problem in one ear when she sings. If I remember correctly, she hears both the correct pitch and a different sour note simultaneously.
It baffles her and her doctors.
