It was in my left ear (ironic, given that I was talking lightheartedly about thinking I was losing my hearing in that ear). The doctor’s recommendation: no earphones/ ear buds/ headphones until it started feeling better, come back if it didn’t start feeling better. I hadn’t been to any concerts, near any catastrophically loud (rock concerts, airplanes at close range, guns) events recently, so it seems like it was more likely a more constant moderately high volume, like listening to music on loud buses or streets.

The doctor things it’s noise trauma. Basically (hopefully) short term partial hearing loss. (Ironically, I’d light-heartedly talked about thinking I was going deaf in my left ear because my ear buds were breaking about 3 weeks ago.) His instructions: no ear buds/ headphones and try to limit limit noise for a few days. [...] [...] There’s no water, ear wax or ear infection in there. The doctor things it’s noise trauma.

Two year ago, my hearing is normal. Unfortunately, i lose 80% hearing in an accident. At first, I nearly lose will to live. It's the largest shock in my life and i made myself off the outside world. After a long period, i got back and tried my best to adapt new life for me. I met some deaf or HOH people online on a deaf single club. They are all active in their lifes. I also create my blog here(http://www.deafs.com/blog/megan). Though I have already adapt the life with a little hearing, but the hearing world is much more dulcet. Therefore, please cherish your hearing. ^^ Nice day! it’s so great that your ears are normal.I am a deaf,exactly a HOH(hard of hearing) single. Two year ago, my hearing is normal.
