Problems with hearing....broken speaker sound

About 4 years ago I noticed that when i talk or listen to others talk sometimes my ears are like broken speakers (if that makes any sense). It really bugs me. Then a few months ago I noticed that I get really weird dizzy spells when I tilt my head a certain way. The spells come and go and are mostly if I lay or tilt my head to the left side but it happens sometimes on the right just not as often. I get dizzy alot and get the feeling like I am going to pass out. My grandma had the same thing when she was about my age and had some kind of surgery but she can't remember what it was called and she said it fixed it. I have a hard time hearing people when they are talking and need the tv volume just right with the speaker close to me in order to hear. Oh yeah and I am only 27 years old. I have had ear infections my whole life, last diagnosis was in 2002. I also have battled tonsilitis, bronchilitis and strepthroat for most of my life as well. I catch colds really easy and get the flu every year. Anyone else experience any of this. I don't have a Dr right now because I just move to a new city so I can't find anything out until I find a Dr. Thanks.

I know exactly what you are experiencing. For as long as I can remember, I have been hard of hearing in my right ear only. I have been a singer all my life and when ever I'm with the choir and I begin to sing my right ear "goes out" and I hear "snow" like when the tv is on the wrong channel; at least thats how i describe it to my dr. this distortion only happens in loud situations ( car with window down-i get distortion and can't hear passenger talking). I failed a lot of hearing tests in high school and was referred to a specialist and they did the silent tests where you sit in a booth and they check your hearing range, and i passed. obviously seeing that my probmlem isn't when i'm in silence. i know this probably didn't help you, but atleast you know you are not alone.
