I am growing Deaf · DIGIT-ARC

I have been noticing that my right ear is loosing hearing abilities gradually. Even my left ear is not as strong as it was before, but the right is much weaker than the left, and when I listen to music in my MP3 Player I hear louder from left than right.

Can someone tell me how I can get back my senses ? I have seen people not loosing their hearing ability even though they listen to loud music on their iPods, but I listen to music in low volume below 80 Decibles. Why am I still being affected ?

I remember that half an year back, I used to sleep facing my right, with the earphones in my ear and my right ear being pressed to the pillow. Could this be the reason behind my deafness ?

Right now I am hearing more bass than treble through my PC. Is this also a symptom of deafness ?

Guys please help. I am already growing in power of my glasses. I am somewhere between -0.5 and -1.0. I have astigmatism on left eye. I have a small issue in my nose due to which left nostrill is bigger than the right on the inside since its somewhat caved into the right. With frequent nose blocks, seldom am I able to breath comfortably through the right. The last thing I want to loose now is my hearing sense.

...Next the ding dong will fall off...

This might have a lot to do with why you cannot hear properly from the right ear... Get yourself checked boy, for you are too young to suffer hearing problems...

how can those be related ?

Yep. Its all related. Here's something for a little proof. Pinch your nose shut and blow hard. You will notice that you are then cursing goobimama for blowing your ears out.

well, there comes a time when the wall of dirt in yer ear gets thick enough to make the person kinda deaf, so they do a water treatment, put syringe(without needle) filled with water and let the water go and come out bringing out the "kaan ka mael" :lol:

another thing could be your problematic headphones, meh i hate head/earphones, the riffing sounds absurd.

Accumulation of wax in the ear might cause differences in the hearing. I would suggest u get yourself checked by an ENT specialist at the earliest.

yeah nasal cavity and auditory tube are related, i remember from my biology lessons, thanks to Goobi for reminding it

remember when you take any liquid drops in eyes or year, chances are you can taste it passing through your throat, and that means it passed right along the nasal passage.

A 5-year-old girl was taken to the primary health care physician because she was having sore throat, high temperature and runny nose. Symptoms started a couple of days ago and her mother reported that she also complained of pain in the right ear at night. The doctor examined her tonsils and found them enlarged, and checked her ears with the otoscope and saw that both eardrums were congested and looked reddish especially on the right. He recommended decongestant medication and analgesics and requested to see the girl again a week later.

Questions to consider:

1. How would you explain the congestion of both eardrums?

The auditory (Eustachian) tube provides a passage for organisms to reach the middle ear from the nasal cavity. In children the tube is more horizontal and shorter than in adults, and therefore the possibility of spread is higher. One of the earliest signs of otitis media is congestion of the eardrum that may be seen easily with otoscope.

2. If the ear infection was not treated properly, what important anatomical structures are likely to be affected in the middle ear?

Neglected otitis media may lead to rupture of the tympanic membrane and loss of hearing. Ossicles may be involved, and that may lead to further deterioration of hearing. Infection may spread posteriorly to the mastoid air cells causing mastoiditis, with possible spread to the posterior cranial fossa and infection of meninges.

hmm....sometimes clean your ear from wax yaar.

Goto The Doctor Man .. Ent Specialist .... Plz Dont Delay It

Same problem with me too. Only my right nostril is bigger than the left (on the inside, that is). About the ears, like the others, I'll suggest getting the ears cleaned.

Why do call it a ding dong? It doesn't really make that sound.

Yeah they are inter related. Remember ENT? Ear Nose Throat. Get yourself checked by an ENT specialist.

Goto some doctor. Dont follow what us quacks say.

ENT doctor....quick......

U need a medic

See an ENT specialist without delay!!!

Keep the earphones away for some days and meet an ENT now itself. He will be able to suggest more and analyze it.

Gautham for improving your eye vision eat loads of carrots and veggies, it really helps(My friend who used glasses always now uses glasses only for reading),

And your hearing problems go to an ENT ASAP.

Gautham consult doctor asap..Get well soon

A

Get an x-ray of your mouth covering nose. you may find some hard stuff blocking your ears. This happened to me.

Dont worry bro... u need a check up... good ENT will do and dont use earbud headfones... they seem very mindblowing initially but can blow off ur mind gradually...

do let us know what the doc said... tc

@MetalheadGautham: paagal .. did u goto the doc or not???

Hey MHG, we are worried of your health and you are not updating the thread, so sad

Did you meet Doc yet ?

Dude, first of all, get out from the front of your computer and go see a doc. Google and the internet can help a long way, but it's absolutely nonsense to ask people what they think of it when the first thing you should do is visit an ENT!

The net is not the answer to everything! Go see a doctor!

I know that our dependence on the net is growing so much that we tend to search for everything on the net assuming that there is an answer and a solution. While help is available for almost anything from how to click on start to how to stab someone, we all just need to realize that we are getting so much out of touch with life that we don't even bother doing things they way they are supposed to be done and end up being so dependent searching for answers to all our problems on the net! This is not just for you Metalhead, but almost for everyone who spends more than 6hrs a day on the net which includes me too

@Metalhead, stop waiting for answers from this thread and go see an ENT as almost all your problems are caused due to a "Deviated Nasal Septum"

stop waiting for answers

all your problems are caused due to a "Deviated Nasal Septum"

Nice

And yeah, Metalboy, let us know whatever happened to them ears....

I think it *might* have been due to an earphone fault, since only in my Walkman Earphones did I have that issue. In Philips SBC9630 its not there.

But at the same time, there still IS a noticable difference between the hearing levels of my two ears when I concentrate deeply. I am mostly going to get a checkup this Sunday.

Great, please do not use earphones till Sunday. And keep us updated too.

I think eating carrots only prevents problems with the eyes and don't cure them, i.e. eating carrots after having problem with your eyesight won't really help. It could only stop it from getting worse.

ENT----------ask him to clean both ears, and you'll realise what you've been missing when listenign to music, believe me.

You should have a hearing test first
That would determine if you are losing haring abilities or not. Then go clean your ears. That could be a problem!

What convinced you to sleep with an earbud in your ear?

^^true metaaaaaal spirit

@metalheadgautham
Thank god u went to a specialist
but as per the symptoms u gave i think its hardened wax in your ears
i dont know exactly but i faced the same issue u r facing now about a year ago
a day before my final exams...
it gradually led to a ringing sound in the ear followed by pain
had to go to a specialist immediately who removed it impromptu

@metalheadgautham
Did you go to a doctor? Please, please keep us up to date!

Me go to a doctor ? Not yet. As I said, Sunday was the day. Thats day after tomorrow.

i think, NO of the eye gradually worsens till the age of 21.

Today is the day! SUNDAY!!
Did you go yet?

Lol! Seems everyone except him wants him to go see a doc!

Maybe because I care a bit for my privacy ? I am trying to post updates, but I don't want to keep commenting because it can only make me feel more bad than I already feel.

ok, let's stop pestering him!
@Pat
we are only caring.

I know buddy! I was just joking

M

gautam u may be facing otitis media-so better do an conductive ear test--better give me your medical history or pm me--
time since ,do you ever feel pain ,any discharge-if yes scanty or profuse--offensive or non offensive. and if you are lazy enough take a dose of antibiotics - i would suggest ampicillin or gentamicin or any 3 rd gen cephalosporin

and do your ear toilet

i would give my ent exam on 21st-wish me luck

abbe...the same thing happened to me....i went to the ENT guy. He cleaned my ear wax and gave me some medics. he warned me that if i continue using the in ear earphones they'll damage my left year permanently. So i have stopped for now.....but plan to resume shortly!

Well you should have had a look at this.
