Hey, hope you are better. Had a scuba diving accident in 2014. I had 2 clients scuba divers who happened the f*** it up at the same time. To avoid the fatal accident that was going to happen to both of them, I ended up ascending VERY (too) fast. Twice in a row from 30+ meters. Ended up with a baro trauma (acufen) which resulted in a permanent whistle kind of noise in my right ear. My osteo tried to recuperate it but it was too late. I had to learn how to live with it by “forgetting” it. Still I have lost a lot of HF from that ear. It is actually very noticeable when facing my nearfield monitors: turning my head from left to right and vice versa results in me finding some new frequencies in my mixes We don’t generally realize how a loss of one of your sense can have such consequences on every day’s life. Rather we take it for granted Hope you get better and a good osteopath may be able to help if the damage does not relate to the small bones inside your mid ear (osselets).
