Drastic sudden loss of hearing

[WizardAmpIphoneClip]

Hold your nose shut
Attempt to blow your nose
Hold 5 seconds or until your ears pop
Makes my amps sound better at least

Hope it works out.

I just changed the tips on my IEMs last night. Lord knows what they were growing, but they didn't feel right. I put new ones on and threw the old ones at my bassist and said, "Oops, wrong trash."

I thought you were acting funny last week…

During the lesson he knocked over a coffee can full of nickles.

I asked him about them, he said he wanted to get another Larry amp, and he has been street corner hustling to make some extra cash.

I asked him who paid him with nickels he said, they all do.

I hope this is just an infection or clogged up but it’s been like 3 days and my hearings just flat out dropped in half . I was sick . So hopefully just that . But freaky . Anyhow here my fav song ever recorded .Any weird experiences like this guys ?

I seriously hope you do not have what I have, which is something called Sudden Sensorineural hearing loss or SSHL. Out of the blue I lost all hearing on one side. I went for treatment (which is injecting steroids into your eardrum) multiple times but it never came back. My condition was coupled with Hyperacusis, so the only thing I get out of that side anymore is painful distortion and I have to wear an ear plug when out in public. Please get it checked out right away because there is a limited window for successful treatment (like 2 weeks). You need a good ENT. Hopefully it is something just cold / sinus related. Mine was not. Let me know if you need any info from me.

This happens from time to time, especially this time of year. I suspect your hearing will slowly return to normal as your sinus/infection/etc resolves. I had my ENT explain that the inflammation associated with "being sick" can cause exactly this and in my case he was right. I thought my ears were clogged or something. Had them cleaned, looked at, everything. Just took a bit of time to go away.

Oh man hope you get better soon.

I had a severe cold about the same time last year & needed to blow my nose a lot. That lead to my ear canals getting inflammation which lasted for about 3 weeks during which I feared my hearing would not make it back.

What temporarily helped were ibuprofen pills which helped for short bursts of time.

7 or 8 years ago I had an ear go "quiet" on me on a camping trip. I'm not sure if it was from sleeping in the colder environment and it made some stuff shift around. But it took a couple weeks for that to return to normal.

Whenever I get a cold, Flu or similar one of my ears ALWAYS goes south. Like a pressure change when flying...except it doesn't change. Once the illness subsides all is well.

Oh it was just a toenail in my ear

Thought this was a Reza foot fetish thing that went to your inner ear.

 

[S̷͖͑m̵͎͂á̵̺s̸͚̈́h̴̬̑]

I would highly suggest you to visit an audiology or otorhinolaryngology ambulance. The issue of your hearing loss could be completely benign like swelling of the Eustachian tube. But it could be also caused by vascular disorder of the inner ear and then the time really matters. It is very important to start proper treatment (high dose of corticosteroids or other vasodilatators) as soon as possible because the chance of hearing improvement decreases rapidly with time.

What about a proctologist?

I lost hearing in one ear after spending a day riding roller coasters a few years ago. Bought some ear drops from the pharmacy to unblock them and they unblocked gradually over a few days. My Mum also just lost hearing in one ear (no rollercoasters) and again ear drops did the trick coupled with a trip to the doctor. Hopefully a quick trip to the doctor and some ear drops will sort you out soon

That Larry amp he got probably didnt get quarantined long enough. Some dirty ******** probably handling that amp through customs then contaminated it with a bullshit ****** virus.
