I was exposed to the sound of loud gunshots at a shooting range, and am now experiencing hearing loss and constant rinigng in my right ear. This occured last Saturday, and is showing no sign of getting better. Is this something I should get checked out and is it too soon to tell if it is permanent or not?

Nearly 1 in 5 Americans own an iPod (or similar brand). They can be listened to at 100dB. This is loud enough to cause permanent hearing loss with regular use.

I would like to perform a monologue in ASL for my high school’s ASL show, but I’m having a hard time finding one that’s appropriate. I’d like to do one pertaining to being deaf or experiencing hearing loss. Or something along those lines. Do you know of anything that might work? I’m 15 and a girl, but I’m willing to adapt a monologue if need be.
Thanks a bunch(:

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.

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?
