My music sounds brighter

Hello all. All of a sudden my music sounds brighter whether I'm listening to a record or a CD. I do have to turn down the treble a bit to compensate for this and make it pleasurable to listen to. Nothing has changed with my electronics which consists of a Yanaha DSP A1 integrated amp, DBX 3BX DS dynamic range controller, Pro-ject Debut Carbon turntable with acrylic platter and Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge, Wharfedale Rubiance RB 27 floor standing speakers in the front and RB 23 bookshelf speakers in the rear and a Mirage FRX S15 subwoofer.

I would have thought that if I was experiencing any deterioration of my electronics, it would be in the opposite direction with a decrease in high-end response.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

@handymann ,
There is some hope, with new research, but I think it is still a few years away:

@handymann There is no particular treatment available but there are some methods to control it, you can check them out at American Tinnitus Association. There is also Hyperacusis Network for more info in case you have hyperacusis. The old treatment of “masking” is helpful selectively, not beneficial in majority of my patients.

@cspiegs,
Interested in update of any progress or elimination of causes to your problem.

@erik_squires,
Spot on with analysis...


@dweller,
Spot on with your analysis also, I have found alien a/c can reach into places past where you can adjust from menu. Try unplugging gear for minute or two and check again...

@giri,I hope you are mistaken and it is not that serious...

I am all for the ear wax theory. It could also be ear hairs.
