I had no idea where to put this question, because it is so weird...
I have a cold right now, and I have a semi-stuffed nose and a persistent cough. (the cough comes about every 30 seconds) My ears don't hurt at all, except for when I blow my nose and it pops.
But today, I was listening to my iPod and all of my music just sounded flat, and low in pitch. Yes I play music, and I have relative, if not perfect pitch when it comes to music. I thought it was only my ipod, but everything around me sounds flat and distorted, from elevator chimes to my cellphone ringtone, even to my piano!
It was so sudden; one minute the music was fine and 30 minutes later it sounded distorted!
Again, my ears don't hurt but I am scared its an ear infection, or something worse.
Can anyone offer some advice on what might be causing it?
