Ear ache

[Maron Horonzakz]

I think you need to find another dockter if he didnt believe you were bleeding from the ears. A good audioligist would have sent you to a Specialist. In the mean time keep sound levels low for the next couple of months. I have my suspishions on what happend. Your lucky dont push it.

[Earl K]

I have my suspicions on what happend. Your lucky dont push it.

- Yea, so do I. A ruputured ear-drum the size of a pin-prick . That'll cause a tiny bit of bleeding . This used to happen to soldiers all the time who were around artillery pieces .

- Leif,,, if I'm correct, you should avoid swimming underwater for sometime ( indoors or other / so you'll need to avoid that temptation of a quick dip in the North Sea ) .

- Underwater pressure can cause the tiny pin-prick opening to reopen . This is quite a painful condition to be forced to endure while underwater ( to say the very least ) .

- Painfull lesson ??? Hopefully it's now over and done with

Right after the loud playing, I found blood in my ears. The doctor thought that was too much to be true, and did not belive me on that.

- Never discount the apathy factor of any Doctor working for "The State" or the corporations' HMO .

Anyone experienced the same thing? Did the pain disappear?

Huh?

What?

[Ian Mackenzie]

Well, I went to the ear specialist again today, and he did not find anything wrong with my ears. He took hear test as well, and I had exellent hearing he said.
I find it odd that I have pain in my ears, but they can not find nothing wrong.
And as one of you said, you were bleeding from your ears. So was I.
Right after the loud playing, I found blood in my ears. The doctor thought that was too much to be true, and did not belive me on that. But it is true. Of course, it could be a coincident that I was bleeding right then. I don`t know...

Anyway, as expected, he warned me not to play so loud anymore. And of course, I won`t.

Are you married? That could do it .,

Gaffa tape her mouth and see if it helps!

Seriously, it might pay to see several specialists, ie not just an ear nose and throat surgeon and get a full health check up..you might have high blood pressure or some other problem that is referred pain to your ears such as sinus pain. Air travel can also cause ear problems. Try chewing peanuts and see of the pain goes away.

I hope it all works out and goes away. I have been lucky as well. Anyone here ever suffer mussel blast from a shotgun? Jesus! that will ring your bell. I have had it twice while duck hunting from a boat. The compression from the blast is hard to describe. I never had any bleeding. I had my hearing tested last year and feel lucky to get up to just shy of 16k

Anyway, I wish well in your recovery.

Ken, dont you have a pair of shooters muffs, or good ear plugs?

Hearing protection is essential.

Scott, I am of Polish decent and thats far to obvious for me to come up with.

[scott fitlin]

Oh, well, that explains everything!

Next time your at your local gun store buying ammo, buy a pair of shooters muffs, they look like a set of headphones, and your ears will thank you!

Just dont spend a whole day trying to figure out how to turn the music on!

I had this big McCulloch super pro gas chain saw in MI that could rip an ear (in more ways than one). I soon learned the need for ear plugs. I think that's the third-most deafening sound I've ever heard.

I find it odd that I have pain in my ears, but they can not find nothing wrong

typical for what's called 'barotrauma'. seen with high volume music, percussion blasts, scuba diving, etc. if you would have been checked initially would have probably revealed bleeding around edges of tympanic membrane (ear drum) from small tears. if your hearing is fine it should heal as the TM is intact. if it still HURTS it's still HEALING. don't abuse them for a while. and remember, hearing damage is cumulative over the years. too bad the ENT's in your land don't communicate better. do you have HMO's or socialized medicine ? just kidding...

[John]

You know guys I don't care what kind of health system you have in any country anywhere in Europe or North America finding a good doctor is just like trying to find a good reconer.

Very hard, but if if by chance you do you hang on to him.

Wow, good lesson to be taken to heart. I'm sorry you're having these troubles and the responses by our fellow members with info has been very intruiging to me. Having subjected my ears to a variety of abuse including the USMC (105 MM howitzer's, 45 ACP, M-16 with no protection, boy was I young idiot) and the NHRA drags, the Jet Car Nationals and of course my JBL's, I'm lucky. BTW, the Jet Cars are on this Saturday night at Los Angeles County Raceway, located just minutes from me in Palmdale.

Lief, I hope your hearing heals fully so that you enjoy your JBL's once again and I know you'll have learned this lesson the hard way (always the worst way, but you never forget those lessons, that's for sure). Good luck and let us know how it goes.
