Hey, /adv/. I know medical advice usually is best for doctors, and I have gone already, but every time I try to google the symptom I can't seem to find anything to even be able to find any results for people having this happen to them; just some assistance on what the exact symptom is would help.
For the past couple weeks I've had mono; I've been on leave for it, just resting right now and heading back to work on Monday. Most of the symptoms are fading, but last week I had something kind of odd happen with my hearing.
There's been a sort of weird undertone in what I'm hearing, for anything between an A2 and an E3 pitch (around a lowish male speaking tone). I first noticed it watching a twitch stream and thought there was something wrong with a commentator's mic; then I realized it was around everything. It makes people sound like they're a computer or a bad YuGiOh villain.
I recreated what the last sentence sort of sounds like to me in Audacity, starting after the semicolon. It's like there's an additional pitch a half-semitone under what I'm hearing: http://picosong.com/AC9s/ Not exact, but close. (Kinda hard to tell when I'm hearing it on my own recording...)
I have gone to my physician about this during a mono follow-up - my ears are clear. He did say it's possible for auditory nerves to get inflamed due to bad viruses, and he said he remembered something similar happened when my father had Guillan-Barre syndrome (though my dad doesn't remember that happening). He said it should be fine but to monitor it and come back if it doesn't go away. I'm not horribly worried about it, but has anyone heard of this or had this happen to them? How long should I wait until I go back?
