Imagine finding out you have a bizarre condition whereby it leaves you deaf to the voices of men.
This was what happened to a woman in China who was said to have went to bed as she felt nauseous with ringing in her ears. Unbeknownst to her, she woke up the next day unable to hear her boyfriend’s voice!
In a state of panic, Chen took herself to the hospital and realize she could only hear her doctor’s voice who is a female but not a male patient’s voice as he walked in to the room.
The ear, nose and throat specialist diagnosed her with a condition called reverse-slope hearing loss (RSHL), where one would have trouble hearing low-frequency and deeper sounds, such as men’s voices.
Dr Lin believes that the stress and lack of sleep experienced by Chen may have contributed to the condition. Luckily enough, she is expected to have a full recovery soon!
