Acoustical Trauma or Hyperacusis?
3 weeks ago a coworker dropped a heavy metal stool next to me on the ground. My left ear immediately started aching. The next couple of days I didn’t think anything of it.
But day 3 it got to the point where I would feel vertigo and my ear would ache after hearing sounds/music at a certain volume (just over medium)
It has seemed to have gotten better but I’m at week three and tested medium volume (50-60%) and my ear will start to kind of ache.
Will this go away and get better? Or is it permanent?
