Feel like I'm losing my hearing?
The sound setting on my phone has always stayed the same. I've noticed that I've now had to turn the volume on my iPhone up into the "red zone" whereas a couple of months ago, I could enjoy the music while it it was still on "normal." I now struggle to hear things like people calling me, where before I could literally hear someone speaking on the other side of the house. I don't know if it's making it worse, but because my hearing seems to have gotten worse, I tend to listen to my music pretty loud (well, it's not loud for me but I imagine it is for other people) and when I take my earphones out, my ears ring for a couple minutes. I also listen to music a LOT. Out of a 12 hour day, I spend maybe 3-4 hours with earphones plugged in. Also, is there any proof that ear scraping is damaging to hearing? Sorry if It sounds gross; I like to keep my ears clean and I use the traditional "Asian ear pick," which I'm pretty sure does not compact ear wax like a Q tip does, as it scrapes out rather than pushes. Still, is this bad?
Turn your music down
If you take your earphones out and your ears ring for a couple of minutes you probably are on the way of killing your hearing.
Really you should see somebody like an audiologist who can assess your hearing.
Ringing in the ears is always a serious warning sign, so please turn the volume down and get your hearing tested. Even a single noise can cause permanent damage if the volume is loud enough.
- Why do i feel like hiding away? Lately i have been thinking about how people hide behind their computers, iphones, and avoid each other. I could go spend time with my housemate out in the lounge room but i just feel like hiding. I don't really feel a connection to her, and i feel a little bit sad today
- What does the matte anti glare screen protector for the iphone 4 feel like? My friend bought a screen protector and it has this texture on it and feels amazing but doesn't feel like any ordinary screen protector. I asked her which one she bought but didn't remember and i would like to buy that one but i want to know which one it is before i buy the wrong thing
- My hearing got much better. I thought hearing never healed I used to listen to a lot of music and, on my iphone, i'd listen comfortably with all but two bars. Now half the vomume is loud enough for me, with same phone and earbuds
