I used to listen to ASMR a few years back but lost interest in it for a while. I started getting back into it a few months ago but I’ve slowly noticed that a tingling sensation was beginning to develop in my left ear. It was pretty weak at first but eventually I could only go for a few minutes before the tingling sensation would get too strong and uncomfortable to bear. Now it’s gotten even worse because I can’t even enjoy music or audiobooks without feeling that unbearable tingle. The only way I can listen to ANYTHING in peace now is it I play it through a speaker or only listen through my right ear, but I can’t always play audio out loud and listening to music through one ear is not nearly as enjoyable as listening with both ears.

I’m just really upset by this because I love music and using my headphones to block noise out but I can’t do that anymore (I also live with people who snore). It makes me wish I never picked up ASMR at all. If anyone has any idea what is going on with me, please help. I want my ears back 🙁
