I can't even stand to be in a silent room. Must have noise to mask the ringing in my ears.

**Dartgod** · 04-09-2009, 11:05 AM

I have it bad. Too much blaring rock and roll as a young man.

Warrior5 · 04-09-2009, 11:06 AM

Ditto.

My dad has the same thing. But replace rock music with tractors and you're spot on.

He actually had surgery when I was a kid (mid-80s) that replaced 2 of the 3 bones in his ear and cleaned out the scar tissue. One ear worked wonders, the other ear made it worse and if his head gets impacted, his ears ring for a week and he's disoriented for an hour or so.

That and driving a drag car for years, and one weekend with few boxes of ammo and a 22 mag pistol did me in. Flight duty in the NAVY didn't help much either.

I think you've got it all covered if you lived downstairs from Ozzy Osbourne for a while.

Black Sabbath was the only 8 track I had for a while, and it was blasting as loud as it would go, when the van was in motion most of the time. Saw them in concert twice.

IRON MAN!

Been playing drums for 23 years....probably has something to do with it!

I like to think of it as always being at the lake house in the summer. The pleasant sounds of night are always there to soothe me and put me to sleep.

It's just when those damn cicadas start their incessant whining does it become annoying.

I have some hearing loss in my left ear. I can hear both high and low frequencies but nothing mid-range.

When they start their noise I just roll over and put my right ear in the pillow and voila. No more cicadas. Can't hear one little peep of them, their frequency is perfectly matched to what I can't hear.

Amnorix · 04-09-2009, 11:45 AM

I find it helps drown out the constant noise of my two little kids.

Seriously, it's annoying, but I usually don't even notice. I'm really affected at higher ranges of frequency, however, and if I'm at a bar or nightclub or anyplace else noisy, I can't have a normal conversation to save my life. I'm basically deaf to everything except all that background noise. Oy.

And I never blared music or went to rock concerts as a kid.
