Members TheGirlfriend Posted February 16, 2010 Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 Finally took heed of everyone's advice and went to the doctor. I can hear out of it again. It was just an earwax potato. Hella gross, but the nurse flushed that bitch out. My god. Everything sounds so LOUD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheGirlfriend Posted February 16, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 step 1, get that altitude like ear change. you know, feels plugged so you yawn and chew gum to try and pop it. step 2, whine about it the first day, fall asleep...wake up sort of used to it. step 3, wait a week for it to go away [doesn't feel 'clogged' just feels like it needs to pop] step 4, realize by week two that you're used to it, and consult the internet. step 5, finally take their advice and decide to see a doctor on week 3, only because you want to hear the world in stereo again, and you're fearing for permanent hearing damage. step 6, hesitate because you don't have insurance, but go anyway.

Members TheGirlfriend Posted February 16, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 i'm probably going to panic the next time i'm on an airplane.it's literally the exact same feeling...it just doesn't go away. and it became slightly inflamed because of the clog, which is why it hurt every once in a while...

Members rdrummer322 Posted February 16, 2010 Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 Lucky you.. I've been 100% deaf in my left ear for 20 years now. Had a hotspot monitor on the road that literally messed me up, doc said she could fix it, surgery went bad, now it's permanently gone. Right ear is now also going, supposed to wear a hearing aid, but I've become quite used to saying, "what?" Deaf ear still rings..hasn't stopped in 20 years, occassionally it changes pitch, that is really the only time I notice it. Being deaf is really handy sometimes:(1) wife snores, lay on my good ear, can't hear a thing(2) meetings,,can't hear what's being said, not responsible for doing what they say.(3) salespeople, turn my head, salespitch is over for me.

Members louied78 Posted February 16, 2010 Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 Man, you've got me thinking about going too, now. I also think I have the beginnings of tinnitus. Go! the longer you wait the more it hurts. It is reversible with a proper brace or strap. The earlier on you catch it, the easier it is to fix.

Members TheGirlfriend Posted February 16, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 tinnitus is different then tendenitus [sp?] and yeah. the cerumen impact was my 'diagnosis'they kept telling me to not shove q-tips in my ear canal. I {censored}ING DON'T."Cerumen impaction may be more common in men, elderly, and in people with mental health problems." I have quite a few issues that are most common to old white men. I thought I was a 26 year old white woman....I'm starting to wonder if my mother has been lying to me all these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thomas G Posted February 16, 2010 Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 Tom Tucker: In local news, a sexy new trend has emerged at James Woods High. Diane Simmons: That's right Tom, It appears that students have taken to having ear sex, in lieu of traditional intercourse. Tom Tucker: Over two hundred reports of ear sex have been confirmed so far, prompting a new slogan, "Once you go Black, you go deaf". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
