Hi Everyone,
I have developed the weirdest symptom over the last 2 weeks and I have no idea if it is neurological or an ear issue. I first noticed it about 2 weeks ago. I was crossing the street with a friend. The crosswalk was one of the accessible ones that has an audible beeping noise to help the vision impaired. I found the beeping noise to be ear piercing and basically, intolerable. My friend didn't find it bothersome at all.
Ever since then, I find any high pitched noise to be way too loud and painful. This includes fans, alarms, beeping, generators, crying babies, etc. I actually had to leave a restaurant the other evening because of a screeching baby. This would never have bothered me in the past. I have worked in a children's hospital for 32 years. I am used to crying babies.
I messaged my neurologist and he thought it could be migraine related. I haven't had any change in my migraine pattern so I don't think that is the cause. He suggested I message my ENT so I did that.
Has anyone experienced anything similar??
Thanks
