HEY..HEY, I'M TALKIN' TO YOU!
 

You can't hear me because the headphones are always on your head.
What? You say you don't have them on? That may not matter. The damage has been done.
Let me tell you, I've been wearing hearing aids since 1981 and it's a pain in the ass. They help but it ain't the same by a long shot. Plus they're expensive, very sensitive to moisture and a host of other ills.
Oh, and don't get me started on Tinnitus. :(


It's a jungle out there and you want to hear the predators

Between headphones and loud music, Cheap Trick concerts, my lawn blower, and several missed placed shotgun blasts closed to my ears, let the ringing begin. There is something depressing about an affliction that doctors know it exists but say there's nothing we can do to fix the problem. Oh, and by the way, it's prbly going to get worse. Hmmm.

I haven't been to a doc yet, mostly out of fear that this is what he'll say, but i got that "rush/ring" in my ears too.

It gets worse when you kill kittens, too. :blush:

really?

April is deaf in her left ear...I have to remember to stay on her right side or talk up if I'm on the left side.

I am apparently becoming tone deaf...sometimes, people have to repeat things 3 or 4 times for me to understand them. I haven't had a hearing test in a while...perhaps it's time for one.

Yeah...your ears go blind.

Anything that increases blood pressure. ;)

Dude we knew that from the music thread.;)

Don't make me beat you with your own mandolin, fucker.

:)

What?

Sycamore - I laughed out loud at that!!!

sounds like something I would say.

I have been to too many concerts where I was really close to the speakers... now people think I am ignoring them when really I just can't hear them. What a pain in the arse. I think I need a hearing aid...

He's cracking on me and my choice of instruments, but I am rubber and he is glue... :cool:

no, you missed the joke, G. That was the obligitory "what?" that happens whenever hearing trouble is brought up in a conversation. Ask wolf.

What?
