Ringing in my ears/Pain from high-pitched noises

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Google it and read up and spend the next week freaking out that you might actually have one.

hahaha, that's what I always do.

You're too lazy to go to the doctor. Sad.

I googlied it and it's something about muscles. Anyhoos k, I went to mark down schedule a doc's appointment in my book thing but it's already there, lol, I forgot about some other thing I was gonna see the MD about, on the 6th next year, 'sall good. Cool about Tinnitus though. Sucks that it'll never go away.

if you have coverage for it, ask your doc to run an MRI on your brain.....just to be sure nothing else is cooking up there.

pour pickle juice down your ears, it will help.

Could be more than just tinnitus. It could also be a fistula, which is a small perforation of the inner ear drum that can cause all these problems. Google it and read up and spend the next week freaking out that you might actually have one.

Dude, not cool.

Bleh, the MRI waiting list is like, three months long at least. lol.

I'm too goddamn lazy to go to the doctor or a walk-in clinic so whatever, once in a while at random times my hearing will go out completely, usually the right ear, then it'll slowly come to with a loud ringing that eventually fades out.

And you know when metal gets too close to a microphone and it makes that screeching sound or something? Well. When it happens, it's f**kin' loud as hell in my left ear and it feels like someone's driving a knife through my skull.

What the cock is up?

And that's why we don't get no no jobs from street walkers with big hands kids.

I went semi-deaf after I saw Arch Enemy; it didn't help that my band also had practice the next night.

My hearing sucked for a week, but it came back. I don't think it's the same as it used to be, though.

I've got a little hearing loss too. Anytime you're exposed to too much noise (even less than it takes to ring your ears or take some hearing away temporarily), it does permanent damage that never totally returns. So you're probably not imagining that your hearing isn't what it used to be, and it'll never quite come back. And it's cummulative, so each time you damage your ears, your hearing gets worse. So now I'm paranoid about my hearing because I don't want to end up having a hard time hearing like my grandfather (he lost a good part of it in the Airforce).

I keep warning my sister to turn down the stereo in the car, but until she starts losing her hearing she probably won't listen. You'd think our grandfather's hearing would scare her enough.

I highly suggest you go see a doctor or something... that really sounds dangerous.

I hope it gets better... I once lost an entire ear once due to ear wax blockage, and I lost half of my hearing. I don't know the pain you're going through, but I definitely know how you feel when it comes to hearing. I hope you don't go deaf in one ear.

A few years back, the head of my department in college had a tumorous growth (non-cancerous) growing into his skull behind his ear. They removed the turmor, but it ended up taking away the hearing in that ear for a while (it completely came back later).

The funny thing is, it was his right ear. Meaning it was connected to the left side of his brain which processes language. When he lost the hearing on the right side, only the right half of his brain could process speech. So anytime he heard someone speak, he couldn't understand what they were saying, but he could see it. He would 'see' words (the sounds would trigger colors and images). Even though he could talk fine, anytime someone needed to talk to him, they had to write it down.

He said listening (seeing) music was really cool.
