Question
Hi sometimes when I'm watching TV a sound that I know that the TV made sounds like its coming from somewhere eslse. This doesn't happen with just one TV . But only certain tones. Is this a hearing problem or something with how I'm processing the sound? Thank you.
Hi Victor,
This is a very interesting question. Does this only happen with the TV(s) or do you have any problems with any other sounds, like hearing from which direction a car is coming? This may be a problem with localization, that is, knowing from which direction a sound is coming. In general, problems with localization are due to hearing loss and/or faulty sound processing. My best advice is for you to start by having your hearing evaluated by an audiologist.
Hope this helps.
