Sharp inner ear pain/loss of hearing?

August 24th, 2009
PetitLolita3 asked:


My BFs left ear gets clogged at least once or twice a year & the clogging is accopanied by muted or 80% loss of hearing. Usually he just puts some ear ache drops in there & in a few days he’s right as rain.

But this time he had the clogging & loss of hearing, we decided to try & unclog his ear w/ a common earwax rinse from the drug store. It allowed some hearing to be restored, but now we has a sharp, stinging inner ear pain. Sounds like an infection, but not sure if I should give him antibiotic or pain killer. Should I be afraid ear drum may be damaged?

Does environmental noise count in hearing loss on headphones?

alighieri00 asked:


Ok, that sounded odd. Basically, if I walk down the street listening to my headphones, I have to turn them up louder to hear the music, thanks to cars and trucks passing by. Does this have the same detrimental effect on my hearing that turning the music louder would if I were in a quiet room, like a library?

i didnt treat my ear infection, will i get hearing loss?

August 21st, 2009
everybodymoveyourbody asked:


I’m pretty sure i had an ear infection, but it wasn’t very bad. It ached every few minutes a little, but the pain was bearable. I didn’t know what it was and didn’t bother going to the doctor with it. I now found out it was probably an ear infection, i also have throat problems at the moment with a lot of mucus in it. I’m coughing, but that went away not long ago also. Will i do any permanet damage to my ears for not healing my ear ache, and letting it heal naturally. I think i got it from not wearing a hat outside in the winter. Should i still go to the doctor?

What’s wrong with my ear? I have a lot of pain in my left ear & some hearing loss?

ilmbg239 asked:


My left ear feels plugged and it is really painful. Also, if I tilt my head to the left side it feels like someone is stabbing my eardrum. My throat only on my left side hurts and I have mucus drainage in the back of my throat. I am starting to cough a lot for the last hour too. When i finally did get something to cough out it was dark brown. I have only felt a pain like this before when my ears wouldn’t pop while in an airplane. Thank you all who can tell me whats wrong with me and what I can do to ease this pain.

Also, I was just on antibiotics zithromax for my cold that the dr said i was on the verge of pneumonia with. thanks again. :-)

Is there anyway I can listen to loud music in my car without damaging my hearing?

ILoveMyHusband8287 asked:


Growing up I had loss of hearing (ran in family). I’m not completely deaf but I can hear just not as good as some people. I heard that listening to loud (not extremely loud) in a car will damage hearing. Is that true? If so, how can I listen to loud music in a car without damaging my hearing?

If there is a buzzing in the room and you’re not paying attention to it does it affect your hearing?

August 10th, 2009
theedman22 asked:


Does it still affect the bones in your ears (possible loss of hearing)? My mother was in the room of with person with a hearing aid for 2 years and it buzzed continuously. Now my mother can’t hear well. She is 73 and she attributes some of the loss of hearing to that continuous buzz. I sleep in a room with a computer on almost all the time, but I don’t think it is affecting my hearing…? I hope.
