being deaf in one ear.

[Rayeine]

"Temporarily"...from what I've been told, but since yesterday..having gone to the clinic...I've been told I've got the discusting pleasure of having a build up of earwax...(lovley). I can't hear a thing out of my left ear at all..
I feel very off.. So far im using drops to soften each ear, and then im getting them flushed on Saturday morning..
Ah..yes....like a picnic in springtime...with lillies...and frolicing...and kittens..
My weekend...of death.
It sucks...I dont remember the last time I went without listening to music...playing music...even the rhythm in my head is starting to hurt..
I've come to the conclusion that I very much dislike hearing myself chew..
This is not enjoyable at all.
I do have a newfound appreciation for those of which that deal with this from day to day..though i'll never know what it's like..
I just hope I can solve this soon....
I dont know how much longer I can take this.

Oh man... that happened to me once. Worst two weeks of my life. Hope it's al dealt with soon =).

^......deathtips.
that's what got me here in the first place.
The lot should be banished.

[tiedye]

It's true.. they push wax down and it builds up. I use earwax candles once a month and cotton swabs around the edges every couple days for hygene's sake.

[Goodfellow]

You just gotta kind of go around the sides, and not plunge it in there. Doing it on a regular basis is key, sounds like you got lazy. Now you pay!!!!! muhahah. Apparently the flush out thing feels like you're getting raped in the ear.

right after they flush your ears out thoroughly, you'll find that your sense of hearing will be extremily heightened (apparently).

It may just be a relativity thing though

[tiedye]

You're going to appreciate music so much more after this, if that's at all possible haha.

This is kind of a gross thread...i am aware of this.
But yours lasted for 2 weeks? Did the irratable pirate eventually wave so long...and sail away?

[b0ld]

may sound silly but it can work.... take a hot shower and chew gum at the same time. hopfully the heat will melt it enough and the chewing will flex the muscles a bit...

that or just go to cyber tonight and I am sure the drum and bass will clear it for you..

[Rayeine]

haha yes...I am quite looking forward to the music after this..
I should take up some suggestions for what I should listen to first...
but I think it has to be Slayer...
.....ohh how look forward to that time. (especially if my hearing does happen to be heightened)

[b0ld]

actually you want you eardrums to have a nice workout... listen to some speedcore
:X

[_bRiTt]

Listen to sinatra!
Or can we only do that together?

That sucks, i'm half deaf in one ear and it was wierd to listen to headphones for the longest time

I'm not even going to get into the story about how I was using one one night just before stepping out and the end came off inside my ear and I couldn't get it out so I fired up my vacuum cleaner and tried suction power but that didn't work either so I had to go to a clinic where the doctor fished it out and told me not to use them again and couldn't believe that I actually tried to get it out with my vacuum cleaner.

Not getting into that story. At all.

[scue]

not at all

awe that sucks sorry to hear that ,that happened to u

[Rayeine]

I CAN HEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the end.

[mojo]

I q-tipped this morning for the first time in.....as long i ca remember and there was nothing on it. Next time im going deeper.

Congrats on the return of your hearing.

[Rayeine]

^DONT!!...
honestly if this experience taught me anything it's the sensitivity of poking around in there. It aint no peice of chocolate cake...you cant just stab at it as you may....you've got to be dainty...delicate...
like a ballet or something...(but then again it may depend on the cake)
but still...Dont go deeper.....it leads to the dark side....and thus to suffering..
Thanks :) , i am quite happy to hear again..

Im addicted to cotton swabs, but like ppl describe, I try to carve around than push into your ear. One Dr. told me I didn't have to use them so often (2-3 times a week) and that once a week was enough as your ear has a natural way of cleaning them selfs on their own. Which i think is bollix since so many ppl have yucky yellow ear snot in them. Also I believe its best to clean them right after a shower or bath when our ear is much softer.

dude, that's straight out of a mr. bean episode.

[mekim]

my doctor told me you shouldn't put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear.

lol, welcome to my world - I was born deaf in my left ear

you can't listen to music, why not?

[Pegasus]

lol ear snot.. :P

i clean my ears with q-tips after every shower, and a lil wipe before i put my earplugs in.
helps them stay in there better. :y:

I think it's because I was so used to having the full hearing..that it was too hard to do so. I have a few friends who are deaf in both ears that I've met through sign language interpreting that found it completley halarious...(they've mocked me merciessly the past few days..haha...) But yes, i suppose I could have listened to music... I did try it at first, but I found that being used to both ears, and having used them every day of my life, was very difficult...to have one wave so long....It's like wearing an eye patch...it takes time to for the focus in the other eye..Im sure i could have gotten used to it, but it would have taken me some time to weave it on into my life...ya feel me? :)
