Loud
Posted: Tue 30 May, 2006 Filed under: Health, Thoughts 1 Comment »The infection in my ear has finally cleared up. It’s taken its bloody time, but it’s gone.
However, in the meantime my brain had kind of got used to that damped-out sound, and was happily processing the world while taking that fuzziness into account, and thus amplifying whatever was getting through, so all was OK and at about normal volume.
Now that it’s just gone, though, it’s still catering for that problem, with the result that the world seems like a very loud place at the moment…
Similarly I think I had a little water in my ear at the weekend. Driving through to the airport I had a new (burned) CD in the car, and was in the middle of trying to figure out why it sounded so odd when *POP*.
Needless to say I actually had it up at the higher end of the volume… scared myself witless!!
