Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions What is listening fatigue?

Distortion in the sound can cause listening fatigue. An ear's sensitivity (or over sensitivity) to certain frequencies can cause listening fatigue if for that person, the frequency needs to be attenuated down to a level that is best for that particular listener. Everyone's ears are different. Further to that each person's ear is different, much like their eyes. Nobody is perfectly symmetrical. One ear will hear differently than another especially if you have had ear infections in the past.

The pain in the ear that you are describing could be a result of an infection. Usually listening fatigue is more asscoiated with headaches and not necessarily earaches.
