Hearing Levels
Posted: Fri 21 November, 2008 Filed under: Domestic, Health 3 Comments »Referring back to one of last week’s posts, my hearing levels now seem to be sorted out again.
All told it took about a week for everything to level out properly – it would have probably been a bit quicker if I also hadn’t nearly deafened myself while using the bloody tile cutter – but it all seems to be good again.
The main issue was that my brain had obviously got used to having to amplify things coming from my right ear, as that had been blocked a lot longer, so that once the blockage was gone, the amplification was still there, and it made things on my right sound far louder than those on my left.
The brain is an amazing thing, really. In that short time it’s got back to processing things at the correct levels, and all seems well.
Are you sure it’s not just that your ear is blocked up again?
Ha, no, I’m certain it’s not that.
I can sympathise with the ear blocky up thing, although touch wood, I seem to have grown out of it. One thing that worries me when the hearing gets back to normal is ‘have I been shouting for the past few months?’
