During gameplay if I experience the hearing loss and start firing a louder weapon the game sound makes a screeching noise. Anyone else experienced this?

yes i have but i believe its because of some explosions could be bugged, have you played battlefield bad company 2? im guessing it has the same feature but in bfbc2 its more of a buzz when you pop your ears to hard it sounds like a whistle.

I have also had these problems where the sound just cuts out entirely but I don't know if its a software/hardware issue. Also have some issues where the some of the explosions sound like my headphone speakers are about to blown out. I use my turtle beach dx11 with the dss and have the bass turned down all the way. I've blow enough speakers in my life to know at least keep the bass down.

Same thing here. It seems like when there is a lot of shooting and explosions going on at once the sounds starts going choppy.

This popping noise well has made this game unplayable to me. (time to nerd out) after 4 hours of play whelp my ears are hurting
Ive thought maybe it was my head set, but still does it through my TV, my room mate's TV, our theater system, even shotty pc speakers i tested.

It mostly happens to me when grenades are going off. plus i play with a headset and every time the game talks through the AI the sound of the radio crackling in my ear is almost deafening . Although that's not a problem of lag, its really annoying.
