Hello, I am 24 years old. It's been since december of last year that my left ear has been sensitive to sounds, especially loud ones (keyboards, people talking loudly, my own voice, plates and cutleries, etc) and it has gotten worse since then. When I hear sounds my ear does a whoosh sound and sometimes pops. I also have a faint continuous high pitched sound that I notice when there's silence. I've seen a doctor who gave me a nasal spray, but it didn't get better, so I went to see an ear specialist. She tested the vibration of my ear and said nothing's wrong. So she told me it could be hyperacusis and told me to go to a centre for deaf and hard of hearing to do some tests. There I saw 4 specialists, a doctor and her assistant and they told me it could be my jaw because I currently have braces and I will have a jaw surgery in October (I have had my braces since 2017), then I saw an audioprothesiste, who ran tests with the headphones, she told me I do not have hyperacusis and thinks that my ear is just sensitive because I'm on the computer a lot and to limit my time using headphones/earphones, and then I saw a psychologist and she said my ears can be sensitive because of stress. I searched online and the only result I get is tinnitus, but from what I read it seems to not be triggered from sounds like me. Since everyone told me a different answer, I don't know what to believe and I would like to know what's causing it, because it's really bothering me everyday. I don't remember anything happening that could have caused this besides maybe around december my ear did a loud buzzing sound randomly and suddenly for a short time. I'm on the nexplanon implant since January and taking lymecyline since 3 months.
