Talk:Diplacusis

This page has clearly been written/edited by someone who hasn't a clue about the subject. I have had this condition myself and the statement that:

"If a 1000 Hz pure tone is presented in both of a listener's ears, then they perceive one pitch[citation needed]."

is simply rubbish and contradicts the first sentence of the article which is of the essence. Furthermore it is not helpful to assert it is a form of tinnitus given that tinnitus involves hearing sound even in silence whereas this is distortion of real sounds. I will edit accordingly.

rewrite
I also have diplacusis. This re-write works. Regarding "whistling with the pitch moving downward", while capable of revealing this condition, doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere on the web, so I won't add it, but if someone finds it... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.116.20.2 (talk) 04:03, 22 June 2021 (UTC)


 * This article seems to only refer to binaural diplacusis and not monaural diplacusis. Although binaural is typically the most common type, I think monaural might deserve a mention.
 * It also only talks about disharmonic diplacusis and not echoica diplacusis. As someone who suffers from both, while they are similar, they definitely present differently. For me, my diplacusis dysharmonica is typically only noticed while listening to music, while the echoica is very noticeable when listening to speech.
 * I don't fancy myself an expert since I just recently developed the condition, and I'm not an experienced wikipedia editor either, so I'm not sure how best to restructure the article if we want to incorporate these changes. Dfscott (talk) 14:02, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Ok to remove banner?
Inline citations have been added. Since I was the one who added citations I did not know if it was a good practice to remove the banner myself. I would appreciate if someone else would weigh in. Thanks!!!! TMorata (talk) 14:37, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
