I am the same. I feel my hearing is much worse, but testing doesn’t show significant change. I believe they cannot test what I am experiencing. I can still hear the “tones” on the test, but that isn’t measuring pressure, tinnitus and hyperacusis. Those things influence the way I hear.
Tinnitus and hyperacusis are killers for quality of life.
Yes, anxiety makes it worse, but the anxiety was triggered by the physical issue....not the other way around. At least that’s how I feel for myself.
