Treatment for diplacusis varies from case to case. Diplacusis caused by an obstruction or an infection in the ear may resolve itself once the obstruction is removed or the ear infection clears up, while diplacusis caused by hearing loss is more likely to be permanent, and can potentially be treated with hearing aids.
It’s very important to correctly diagnose the type of diplacusis so that the appropriate treatment can be applied. Diagnosis for diplacusis should be done with a full hearing test or exam by a trained hearing clinician.
