Hearing Problem

[Mojo]

So, for the last few days, everything that I hear with my left ear sounds kind of like a robot. The effect is easier to notice with higher pitch sounds. Should I see a doctor about this?

Yeah I'd go to the doctor so he can look in your ear.

It could be Rap music? Every song uses a vocoder, and that sounds like a robot.

Yeah, check to make sure your stereo headphones are working properly.

It's not limited to what I hear through headphones, even when I'm talking to people if their voice is the right tone they'll sound like a robot.

Ok, Ill play Doctor.

It sounds(lol) like you have Ménière's disease. My mom had this, and had to have brain surgery to have her balance nerve removed. She cant walk in a straight line anymore. The disease ate away the tiny hairs inside here middle ear, causing the fluid to continue spinning. Usually these hairs help the fluid stop spinning. Those hairs prevent you from being dizzy permanently. With those hairs gone, my mom wouldn't stop being dizzy. Every time she turned her head, her eyes would spin around like she was dizzy.

The symptoms of Ménière's are variable; not all sufferers experience the same symptoms. However, so-called "classic Ménière's" is considered to comprise the following four symptoms:[3]

* Periodic episodes of rotary vertigo or dizziness.
* Fluctuating, progressive, unilateral (in one ear) or bilateral (in both ears) hearing loss.
* Unilateral or bilateral tinnitus.
* A sensation of fullness or pressure in one or both ears.

Ménière's often begins with one symptom, and gradually progresses. However, not all symptoms must be present for a doctor to make a diagnosis of the disease.[4] Several symptoms at once is more conclusive than different symptoms at separate times.[5]

Attacks of vertigo can be severe, incapacitating, and unpredictable (Ear Disorders * Meniere's Disease * California Ear Institute * Ear Doctors * Palo Alto * San Ramon * Bay area). Attacks of vertigo last no longer than 24 hours.[6] This combines with an increase in volume of tinnitus and temporary, albeit significant, hearing loss. Hearing may improve after an attack, but often becomes progressively worse. Nausea, vomiting, and sweating sometimes accompany vertigo.

Some sufferers experience what are informally known as "drop attacks" — a sudden, severe attack of dizziness or vertigo that causes the sufferer, if not seated, to fall. Patients may also experience the feeling of being pushed or pulled (Pulsion). Some patients may find it impossible to get up for some time, until the attack passes or medication takes effect.

In addition to hearing loss, sounds can seem tinny or distorted, and patients can experience unusual sensitivity to noises (hyperacusis). Some sufferers also experience nystagmus, or uncontrollable rhythmical and jerky eye movements, usually in the horizontal plane, reflecting the essential role of non-visual balance in coordinating eye movements.

Studies done on both right and left ear sufferers show that patients with their right ear affected tend to do significantly worse in cognitive performance.[7] General intelligence was not hindered, and it was concluded that declining performance was related to how long the patient had been suffering from the disease.[8]

Attacks often come in series of a few minutes to a few hours.

Do you hear the monotonous tone and jerky robot rhythm from people, too? Does everyone speak like a William Shatner/Cardian/HAL hybrid?

[Blabj]

Once again without emotion.

[Selamis]

Shatner doesn't speak like a robot, he just pauses and hangs on every other word, and is a God.
