Protect your hearing, kids!

Seriously, PROTECT YOUR FUCKING HEARING. I was young and stupid (now Iโ€™m no longer young) and went to way too many raves, gigs etc. without any sort of hearing protection, and now I have a nice constant background track of EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE and canโ€™t hear higher frequencies worth shit

I can get tinnitus if I have too much ear-wax and I have to remove it periodically, since it wont come out on its own.

Yep, tinnitus is your brain filling in the absence of hearing, its not a condition in itself

Right ear went to working in a call centre. Left ear seems to be trying to decide if itโ€™s going to recover or not from some unaware idiot in Tesco suddenly walking up and slamming his stock cart shut right next to me. I really hope I donโ€™t end up with stereo EEEEEEEEEEEEE but it feels like an inevitable matter of time at this point. There goes the left one againโ€ฆ
