Chronicness of it means Tinnitus... I have it. It aint fun. There are times when the ringing is unbearable. For example, one night, it felt like there was an orchestra of bells playing in my head. Wear earplugs, and you'll thank yourself. I tend to listen to music rather loudly, and it's had it's concequences . If your a DJ/Producer, wear some fucking earplugs at clubs! I listen to my CD player at full blast, no headphones, and the ringing comes all the time unless I'm listening to some trance or something. Very rarely do I experience silence. For me it, it comes in the form of a continuous high pitched noise most of the time... not sure what it's like for you, but protect your god damn ears!

Originally posted by beema I never goto clubs without wearing earplugs. Tinnitus is a serious problem, and as a DJ/producer, having it would effectivly put an end to your livelyhood. Music is my life, so I value my ears more than anything. I bought a bulk-pack of like 60 pairs of earplugs at Home Depot. They are basic green foam, and they muddy up the sound at clubs. But I'm willing to endure that to protect my hearing. You can get those specially molded earplugs for like $150+ from an ear specialist. You can still hear everything clearly with those. I hope to get some within a year.

Hey can you tell me where you can get those kind of earpulgs made

Ahaha I thought you were responding to your own message at first.

On topic: If you're sick, don't allow your ears to experience high air compressions (aka high decibel levels). Bad stuff happens. Ok well not for all sicknesses, but for those that are affecting your sinuses (believe it's your sinuses anyways). My science teacher in HS went on a plane trip when she had a cold, and her eardrum popped. As in blood flowing out of them. She was completely deaf for about 6 months, but then her hearing started to come back, although admittedly it sucks now. Don't know if it's common for your hearing to return or not after something like that, but she was probably lucky to get any hearing back at all.

This concerns me, because I have a lot of allergies (pollen, mold, dust, the usual) and pretty much have a stuffed up nose and can hock champion loogies on any given day. Then again I've flown on planes like this and have had no problem, been high up in mountains, etc. But I'm still a bit paranoid.

I don't usually get sinus problems in my ears except when I'm really stuffed up which isn't too too often. Should I be worried?

I highly doubt it was her sinuses fault that her eardrums popped. Probably something to do with sensitive ear drums.
