My ears are ringing louder than usual as I am writing this. Some days it's not too noticable but sometimes it's very loud like tonight. It doesn't really bother me but certain noises really hurt. Speaker feedback really makes my skin crawl. Sometimes my ears ring at different frequencies and that kind of bothers me. One strange thing is I can't hear crickets chirping. I have been a drummer for 25 years and in all of those years of sitting next to moniters, I never wore ear plugs. The same thing with my job. I am a machinist and in the 30 years I have worked, I never wore ear protection. I still don't. I am paying for my stupidity now. I am lucky that it doesn't bother me too much, but I have heard of people who are almost suicidal from the constant ringing. I hope that everyone reading this will wear ear protection when needed. Now could be the perfect time to start when the mother in law comes over for the holidays.
