white.devil asked:


A friend fired a large caliber pistol about 4 inches from my ear. It started bleeding, but not much. This was almost a year ago, and my hearing hasn’t returned. I haven’t been to a doctor or anything like that. Is this going to be permanent? Or is there something a doctor can do to help?

I want a tattoo that represents my hearing loss but the butterfly idea thing is overused now in every charity?

Luke asked:


I did have pain but the doctor set me up with a 7 day antibiotic period, I have 2 or 3 days left of them. The pain has almost completely gone but it is really hard to hear. Is this permanent?

I am quite scared thinking that I am going to be deaf.

Will it be safe to hold my nose and blow the stuff in my ears further out?

Thanks people.

How can doctors determine if your hearing loss is due to listening to loud music?
