how long have your ears rung for?[views:3242][posts:28]_______________________________ [Oct 13,2008 7:08pm - idea ""] so i'm taking this audio production class and we had a substitute the other day. he gives us this reading assignment and then decides to use a synth to play ultra high frequencies. in the class we had before this we learned that you can't hear the tweeter of a speaker from behind which is where he was standing. I was about four feet away from the speaker and it was facing directly at me at ear level. he then plays a sound that is supposedly so high it's out of the range of human hearing, then he turns the power on the speaker and turns it up really loud. now my ears have been ringing constantly for the past two days. I've been to concerts without earplugs and i've felt more deaf than I do now, but it wasn't this annoying. what are your thoughts on this? |

| _____________________________________________ [Oct 13,2008 7:36pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Definitely see a doctor, and get the full name of that substitute just in case, heh. |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 13,2008 7:43pm - NuclearWinter ""] I've been experiencing perpetual ear ringing since the age of 11. Deal with it. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 13,2008 7:45pm - narkybark ""] fill your ears with wet cat food to muffle out the sound. |
| ________________________________________ [Oct 13,2008 8:13pm - This_Is_Heresy ""] Yeah, I don't remember the last time in my life where my ears were not ringing at least a little. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 13,2008 8:57pm - the_reverend ""] you can sue for that. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 13,2008 8:58pm - the_reverend ""] I always wear ear plugs cause I want to be able to hear when I'm 40. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 13,2008 9:00pm - Pires ""] i wear ear plugs all the time now at shows. i thought i'd be a bad ass when i was younger and never wore them. now i cant go to a show without them. i like going to bed and not hear that constant ringing. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 13,2008 9:08pm - swamplorddvm ""] About 3 or 4 days one time. |
| ________________________________________ [Oct 13,2008 9:10pm - DomesticTerror ""] i have a slight ring all the time, but i've noticed it's ridiculously amplified when i'm drunk and falling asleep. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 13,2008 9:10pm - swamplorddvm ""] Actually, my ears still ring abit. My left ear mostly. I never wear earplugs at shows and I tend to blast my headphones sometimes. Mostly when I'm mad. Stupid. |
| ______________________________________________ [Oct 13,2008 9:36pm - DogbiteDaveHumphreys ""] I received permanent hearing damage in left ear at a Wargasm show in 80something, this shit is no joke. On the other hand, some of the ringing that you hear is your central nervous system, and you may be freaking yourself out by focusing on it making it seem louder than it really is. One way or the other, I reckon you should get your ears checked out just to be sure, and nobody is too cool to wear hearing protection at a show. |

My ears are usually fine, but I notice a slight ringing when I'm drunk and falling asleep, too. I wonder why that happens. About 7 or 8 years ago, I was right up front at a Motorhead show with no ear plugs. My ears rang for about 4 or 5 days after. I thought it would never end. It was horrible. I wear ear plugs to shows now. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 14,2008 7:17am - timma ""] That's why substitutes aren't technically teachers...because they generally have half a fuck's idea what they're doing at best. I was right next to the PA for Slayer @ Lupo's once, hammered on Jager. My shit rang for atlest 3-4 days and it sounded like I was underwater. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 14,2008 7:25am - Yeti ""] i have a very faint ringing in my right ear due to Exhumed when they played with Mayhem upstairs at the Palladium. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 14,2008 8:36am - the_reverend ""] this thread is getting me motivated to get better ear plugs. I think my balance is getting a little messed up cause of it. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 14,2008 9:32am - timma ""] That's probably because you're stuffing massive chunks of ear wax into your inner ear. Who needs drugs and liquor when you've got vertigo? |
| _____________________________________________ [Oct 14,2008 9:47am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] At most I've just had a weird feeling in my ears after a loud show, but it never lasts more than just that one night. I definitely need to start wearing my earplugs though. If not I'm sure I'll wake up one day and have a problem out of the blue. |

| ________________________________ [Oct 14,2008 10:18am - timma ""] don't forget kernell32.dll it has the AIDS. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 16,2008 4:50pm - idea ""] 5 days have passed and it hasn't let up at all |
| _______________________________ [Oct 16,2008 4:50pm - idea ""] and I only heard the tone for about 10 or 15 seconds |
| _____________________________ [Oct 16,2008 5:10pm - mOe ""] its wierd, every now and then I'll get a ringing in my ears that will last maybe 10 seconds and go away...it happens at random times even when nothing loud is happening |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 16,2008 5:15pm - narkybark ""] i think that's normal for everyone |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 16,2008 5:20pm - the_reverend ""] yep, I've gotten that too and sometimes I've randomly gone deaf in an ear for a minute. the worst is when your ears start ringing, you break into a cold sweat and the world starts going black. when that happens to me, I open my eyes as wide as I can so that night doesn't envelope me forever. |
