Lambda: Random Ear Ringing?

Lambda 05.22.11	Yeah
savagecabbage 05.22.11	Description is too long. For me to care about yout problems you are going to have to summarize negro. Hearing aids are metal.
Lambda 05.22.11	- Had ear ringing for 3 days a few months ago after show with band - Randomly started ringing again 4 days ago - Ears crackle every time I swallow - How long will it last, has anyone else had this (twice?)
Vesper 05.22.11	You should probably get that checked out before it becomes hearing loss and start wearing plugs when you play. :/
Vesper 05.22.11	I don't get it as bad as you, but I get the ringing/buzzing noise, especially when it's late at night or quiet.
Lambda 05.22.11	^ Always wear headphones, but I guess if I'm playing along to tracks I'll wear earplugs under the headphones
Lambda 05.22.11	How long have you had it for?
Maniac! 05.22.11	google Tinnitus
Vesper 05.22.11	Hm, don't know why the speaker would have damaged your ear, then, unless you were playing the sound really loudly in your headphones to cover up external noise. Which you shouldn't do... so you might want to invest in better headphones so that you don't have to blast it as loudly. I've had it for about a year, but it only happens for a few days after I go to a show or something.
PayneTiger777 05.22.11	I haven't been able to hear out of my left ear in a week even after I got it flushed out. I don't know what is wrong with your ear or mine, but you should probably see a specialist. I will have to see one some time this week. There is an actual test that you can do to determine if your problem is severe or not. If you hum loudly and hear the hum mostly from the messed up ear, then it's most likely due to a blockage. If you hear the hum mostly in your good ear, then it's a medical emergency and you should get it checked out.
Epilogue 05.22.11	me and you are in the same boat: the SS Deaffucks
Lambda 05.22.11	The thing is, both ears are kind of ringing now, and it just started randomly... it might be a sinus thing... I dunno
Vesper 05.22.11	Dude, get it checked out. Think of a life not being able to listen to music. ... That ought to scare you. :\|
ButcheredChildren 05.22.11	We are not fucking doctors don't rely on our answers go see your family physician
Deviant. 05.22.11	Shut up Butchered
Satellite 05.22.11	shut up butchered [2] we ARE people who listen to music and go to shows
SCREAMorphine 05.22.11	I get it all the time, get it checked out, I left it for ages now my hearing is fucked..
Enotron 05.22.11	yeah dude try to cop some ear buds as soon as possible
Satellite 05.22.11	my ears are pretty much constantly ringing and crackle semi-frequently i'm pretty much used to it
foreverendeared 05.22.11	"it might be a sinus thing... I dunno" Did you completely skip over Maniac's post? it's probably Tinnitus.
ConsiderPhlebas 05.22.11	You zone it out eventually
Enotron 05.22.11	whenever i'm at shows, i'll often stuff toilet paper in my ears or just keep my fingers plugged in because my ears are sensitive.
Satellite 05.22.11	well he obviously has tinnitus. it's just the vague medical term for a ringing sensation in one's ears. and it's a symptom, not a disease.
ButcheredChildren 05.22.11	"we ARE people who listen to music and go to shows" no way dude I wonder if that is a prerequisite for med school should check that out
ffs 05.22.11	okay i faxed my doctor about this and his diagnosis is ur gay. hope this helps.
Satellite 05.22.11	he's not asking for a diagnosis you fucking retard. he's wondering if we've had similar experiences and what we've done about it.
Enotron 05.22.11	"no way dude I wonder if that is a prerequisite for med school should check that out" last time i checked med school wasn't centered around ear ringing from shows either. you don't inherently require any schooling to be knowledgeable in a certain area.
SkateFootballMusic 05.22.11	It's not from the music. When your ear rings it means someones talking about you(:
ButcheredChildren 05.22.11	"he's not asking for a diagnosis you fucking retard. he's wondering if we've had similar experiences and what we've done about it." and I shudder when I think about what possible advice you people may give him "okay i faxed my doctor about this and his diagnosis is ur gay. hope this helps." To think, people like this are handing out advice to this poor kid
foreverendeared 05.22.11	"and I shudder when I think about what possible advice you people may give him" Yeah like the 15 people that have suggested he see a doctor about it. SUCH TERRIBLE ADVICE WE'RE SO STUPID
Enotron 05.22.11	"and I shudder when I think about what possible advice you people may give him" yeah wtf is with these people recommending earplugs? like, have they even been to medical school?!
Lambda 05.22.11	It might be from fluid in my ears, which would explain the popping/crackling every time I swallow. I think I'll see a doctor tomorrow about it
Satellite 05.22.11	i aspire to someday be as intelligent and liked among the sputnik community as butcheredchildren
ffs 05.22.11	someone is posting jokes in this Important Serious Discussion Thread? mods, get in here asap
fish. 05.22.11	If it's not stopping, it's probably permanent. I've had it since I was 7 but I've gotten used to it so I don't consciously notice it. There's no known cure for tinnitus.
foreverendeared 05.22.11	I get cracking in my left ear when listening to audio through my headphones a lot, but I'm pretty sure it's from wearing in-ear buds for years and sleeping with them in my ear.
ButcheredChildren 05.22.11	lol Satellite is such a baby
klap 05.22.11	every time you hear ringing in your ears that's the sound of ear cilia at a particular frequency dying, meaning you'll never be able to hear that frequency again. try not too get this too much
PayneTiger777 05.22.11	"It might be from fluid in my ears, which would explain the popping/crackling every time I swallow." I'm experiencing the popping and crackling as well, but no ringing. I keep thinking that it is going to pop all the way so that I can hear, but it never happens. I did some research and I think it might be fluid as well. Fluid could be trapped in the middle ear space. I just hope that antibiotics can help with it.
chuckerson91 05.22.11	children of men lol
Enotron 05.22.11	@klap: that sounds so sad : (
Lambda 05.22.11	Oh, and payne, I did that hum test and it's mostly coming out of my left ear (the ringing one)
klap 05.22.11	luckily there's so many frequencies that you can lose a lot and never notice a difference. just the frequencies we're able to hear at age 10 compared to what we can hear at age 80 is significantly different
Lambda 05.22.11	Oh, and payne, I did that hum test and it's mostly coming out of my left ear (the ringing one)
Vesper 05.22.11	@klap: It was still sad. http://i51.tinypic.com/s2thkk.jpg
liledman 05.22.11	so not only are you playing drums without ear plugs, youre also blasting music into your ears at the same time to overpower the drums? i think you may need to rethink that whole approach. use some good closed over-ear design headphones at least, and never play shows without earplugs. GOOD earplugs too, not just $2 pieces of foam. you dont need to spend $200 either, just get a $20-30 pair that will wipe off 15db or so. makes a huge difference.
Deviant. 05.22.11	Just go to an ear specialist. It could be tinnitus or it might be something as simple as just a build-up of wax. I have to get my left ear flushed every few months because of that. Even though the ringing indicates it's probably more than likely tinnitus Good to see Butchered is meeting all his expected standards
savagecabbage 05.22.11	"whenever i'm at shows, i'll often stuff toilet paper in my ears or just keep my fingers plugged in because my ears are sensitive." this is funny
Satellite 05.22.11	ringing IS tinnitus
FatChickIrl 05.22.11	so much tldr
ButcheredChildren 05.22.11	Deviant I don't see why you are attacking my intelligence.
Deviant. 05.22.11	"Deviant I don't see why you are attacking my intelligence." I can't attack what isn't there
FatChickIrl 05.22.11	lol butchered : (
ButcheredChildren 05.22.11	"I can't attack what isn't there" So not only do you avoid answering the question but you resort to jokes that seem more creative when spoken from a 6 year old, nice.
Deviant. 05.22.11	No I answered the question by implying you didn't have any. And you proved me right by answering the way you did
ButcheredChildren 05.22.11	"No I answered the question by implying you didn't have any. And you proved me right by answering the way you did" All you are doing is continuing to systemically assail me.
Deviant. 05.22.11	i know, but thanks for pointing it out chief
Lambda 05.22.11	When I drum, I use Vic Firth noise masking headphones, which I sometimes plug into my iPod to play along to tracks. My left ear was feeling clogged for a bit, and still is kind of.
Satellite 05.22.11	goddamnit shut up butchered
savagecabbage 05.22.11	snatch-hole
ButcheredChildren 05.22.11	Yea but what I don't understand is why? What have I done that is so bad that I need to be attacked consistently for it?
Deviant. 05.22.11	Well there's no need to suffer fools lightly
FatChickIrl 05.22.11	Butchered, L2intrawebz
savagecabbage 05.22.11	"Yea but what I don't understand is why? What have I done that is so bad that I need to be attacked consistently for it?" imo, shit like that
Relinquished 05.22.11	lol butchered give deviant some shitty recs
ButcheredChildren 05.22.11	I am not upset or mad about this I am just curious as to why you guys feel it necessary to dehumanize individuals? At least I apologize when I hurt someone by accident, you guys are just being assholes for the sake of it.
FatChickIrl 05.22.11	Recs for the entire thread - The Avalanches
Relinquished 05.22.11	someone's sensitive
strangerthanfission 05.22.11	butcheredchildren's internet growing pains itt
foreverendeared 05.22.11	Hey guys let's all take the internet really seriously.
savagecabbage 05.22.11	I smell an asshole that's about to get fisted mercilessly
FatChickIrl 05.22.11	lol
strangerthanfission 05.22.11	i'm so hard right now
DarkNoctus 05.22.11	oh sorry op, that was me making an eeee noise eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :]
Deviant. 05.22.11	"I am not upset or mad about this I am just curious as to why you guys feel it necessary to dehumanize individuals? At least I apologize when I hurt someone by accident, you guys are just being assholes for the sake of it." It's probably got something to do with the fact that you're so goddamn stupid (this includes the point where you started telling people you were pretentious because you thought that was a good thing), and the fact that everytime someone ever corrects you or tells you that you are wrong you go off on the most obscenely pathetic tangents involving ill-placed words (that you clearly don't know the meanings of yet still use them) and terribly flawed logic. Of course I don't have to care or respond but if I walk into a thread and see something stupid (by you or by anyone) I'll more than likely say something. Why? Because I can, just as you can And not that I ever gave a shit but I believe it was you who first tried to have a go at me. Not that that failed endeavor sparked any of the comments I've made to you or about you since, but there's a little food for thought while you whinge
Relinquished 05.22.11	someone call the fire department cuz someone just got roasted
ButcheredChildren 05.22.11	No I understand it's fucking hilarious to tear someone a new asshole. However, everytime I come on it's the same 5 or 6 people that oppugn me vigorously and it gets really stupid. Like I said I am not upset about it because I attack people as well but not the same person continuously. What I am getting at is that if this were any other person there could be some serious psychological repercussions. It's not cool to pick on one guy in particularly endlessly.
Satellite 05.22.11	"What I am getting at is that if this were any other person there could be some serious psychological repercussions." lolololololol
asaf 05.22.11	ive been playing the drums for almost 15 years... happens to me every once in a while. it comes and goes bro. either ear. whatev. ive been going to shows since i was 10... i'm 25 now.. listening to meshuggah and all this new djent stuff throughout the years doesnt help either.. were only mortal. it's all wear and tear brah... take care of yourself, play with ear plugs, just about all the advice i got because i LOVE loud music and technology will take care of the rest!!!
FatChickIrl 05.22.11	I actually want to get roasted, who wants a go at me?
Deviant. 05.22.11	"Like I said I am not upset about it because I attack people as well but not the same person continuously. " Lol, attack different people each time to minimize the harm
DarkNoctus 05.22.11	ButcheredChildren: look at the world with a smile and the world will smile back! :] it got me where I am today! [:
savagecabbage 05.22.11	@ fatchickirl - If by roasted do you mean given a saucy time? I got lots of sauce. steamy nasty sauce.
foreverendeared 05.22.11	I love you Noctus. And in a really creepy way.
foreverendeared 05.22.11	:]
DarkNoctus 05.22.11	aww :] i love you too!
ButcheredChildren 05.22.11	1. Sounds to me like you are holding a grudge Deviant. I am sorry if you took that "one time" personally but just because you are a contributor on this site does not make you immune. Sure you are incredibly knowledgeable with most electronic music (I will never dispute that) but you're not important enough to be infallible. 2. Your argument about me using ill-placed words and going on rediculous tangents when someone tries to contend my statements is true to an extent. However it's fucking stupid when I contend someone and get attacked because I questioned something. If I don't understand or I am wrong calling me an idiot doesn't change the fact. I would appreciate some helpful advice when I do something idiotic and don't realize it.
foreverendeared 05.22.11	Curse my heterosexuality right now!
DarkNoctus 05.22.11	aww :[ well we can be best of friends! :]
Relinquished 05.22.11	"Sounds to me like you are holding a grudge Deviant. I am sorry if you took that "one time" personally but just because you are a contributor on this site does not make you immune." lmao
foreverendeared 05.22.11	YAY! :]
savagecabbage 05.22.11	you can fist another man and still be straight. It's what my uncle showed me at thanksgiving.
strangerthanfission 05.22.11	holy shit, i had no idea my nephew was a sputniker
foreverendeared 05.22.11	HAHAHA

DarkNoctus 05.22.11	i was on flag plz once and it made me feel like life was worth living :]
savagecabbage 05.22.11	Oh shit. You're fist sneezed on my back before we were done.
savagecabbage 05.22.11	you're....i'm a goddamned genius
ButcheredChildren 05.22.11	I was surprised to see that I only have 5 posts on flag plz. Not enough people are catching my zingers and generally idiotic moments.
strangerthanfission 05.22.11	yeah, that must be it.
ButcheredChildren 05.22.11	lol good one
savagecabbage 05.22.11	Is it weird to have wet dreams about your mom?
DarkNoctus 05.22.11	probably :]
Deviant. 05.22.11	"Sounds to me like you are holding a grudge Deviant. I am sorry if you took that "one time" personally but just because you are a contributor on this site does not make you immune. Sure you are incredibly knowledgeable with most electronic music (I will never dispute that) but you're not important enough to be infallible." After already mentioning that I didn't care in the slightest you wrote that? Look ate the brains on this one "Your argument about me using ill-placed words and going on rediculous tangents when someone tries to contend my statements is true to an extent. However it's fucking stupid when I contend someone and get attacked because I questioned something. If I don't understand or I am wrong calling me an idiot doesn't change the fact.

I've seen conversations that can attest to this
Deviant. 05.22.11	* go all defensive
foreverendeared 05.22.11	I've never had a wet dream what am I doing wrong
savagecabbage 05.22.11	god dammit :]
bungy 05.22.11	tldr you probs have cancer
savagecabbage 05.22.11	I quit pissin the bed three weeks ago and had my first wet dream about my mom last week:]
DarkNoctus 05.22.11	i won an egg and spoon race once :]
savagecabbage 05.22.11	how dare you one up me
DarkNoctus 05.22.11	oh don't mind me, just be proud of your achievements! :]
savagecabbage 05.22.11	I have maternal wet dreams while you're out winning egg spoon races and shit, how can I not feel inadequate:]?
DarkNoctus 05.22.11	well why don't you come and race with me whilst having maternal wet dreams? :]
foreverendeared 05.22.11	1. find someone to have an egg spoon race with 2. fist yourself while winning the race 3. enjoy being the ultimate winner in life
savagecabbage 05.22.11	Because I have flailing limb syndrome. I could potentially assault and fuck someone.:]
savagecabbage 05.22.11	fuck dr. phil, forever solved my problem.
DarkNoctus 05.22.11	well that doesn't sound too bad :]
savagecabbage 05.22.11	I used a thread about someone elses hearing loss to face my demons and fist my asshole.
foreverendeared 05.22.11	sounds like great success
DarkNoctus 05.22.11	yawwwwn i'm going to bed soon guys hope op's hearing gets better and i hope everyone has a wonderful day!! :]
ShinXetsu 05.22.11	Tl;dr version: 1. Don't jump to any conclusions about what it is but get acquainted with that you could possibly have until you get properly diagnosed by a doctor.(such as Tinnitus etc.) 2. Make it a point to get some quality earplugs to play with at shows just for general precautions.
savagecabbage 05.22.11	good night sweet prince, may you have wet dreams of the maternal kind :]
DarkNoctus 05.22.11	well we'll see what happens! :] have wonderful dreams in return! [:
Satellite 05.22.11	for the last time, tinnitus is a symptom, not something a doctor is going to diagnose you with. it's just the medical term for "your ears are ringing." themoreyouknow.jpg
savagecabbage 05.22.11	duly noted, the gayness is getting pretty thick in this thread ooohhhhh yyyeeeeaaahhhh!!!!RIP Randy Macho Man Savage
ShinXetsu 05.22.11	"for the last time, tinnitus is a symptom, not something a doctor is going to diagnose you with. it's just the medical term for "your ears are ringing." themoreyouknow.jpg" The more you know indeed.
ev0ken 05.23.11	i've been getting random ear ringing recently also for the past few months. I can even hear it sometimes over the t.v. which is annoying. i also hear crackling too, i went to a ENT doctor a few months ago, they said all my ear pressure and stuff is okay and hearing ok. they clean our my ears, one ear is better from the crackling but the other one i can still hear it. The noise you hear when your in a silent room is normal i think, but it just gets annoying after awhile. I still can hear the ambient noise/ringing when i'm watching tv still sometimes. go to a ENT (ears nose throat) Doctor is my advice if it doesn't get better. there might be wax in your ear that causes the crackling when you swallow. and i guess try not to pay attention to it or else you'll end up hearing it a lot more.
Lambda 05.23.11	I tried sleeping on my left side- I woke up with it much quieter and more higher-pitched, and my ear not feeling blocked at all. This makes me feel like it is some sort of blockage.
Emim 05.23.11	If your ear keeps on ringing, answer the damn thing.
DiceMan 05.23.11	This list should be documented for posterity on moaropeth
FatChickIrl 05.23.11	lol
Motiv3 05.23.11	Ive had this problem for months now. I had a hearing test earlier on in the year and my hearing is normal but the ringing is still there, only when completely silent. I've kinda tuned out now and i dont really notice it much anymore but it comes back into hearing every now and then.
