In a silent room, why can I hear high pitched sounds in my ears that fluctuate randomly?
Have you ever heard (pun intended) of Tinnitus? Well, you have it. The bad news is, it tells you that you have some ear damage. The other bad news is that there are some things that make it more bearable for some people, but not for everyone. The worst news is that is not curable at this time.The good news is, that if you are careful, it is not progressive. It is caused by environmental factors (Rap, loud machinery, gunshots,fevers, or drugs) and usually does not get worse, if you stay away from the causes. So far, you only hear it at very low ambient noise, mine will drown out speech in livingroom conditions.For some strange unknown reason, the Quorabots won’t let me use a credential that mentions tinnitus, even though I am something of an expert on the topic. Thanks for asking, and I hope it doesn’t get worse for you until there is a cure.
******Q-TIP JABBED IN EAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please Help!!!************?
Yet again, another reason not to stick anything smaller than an elbow into your ear. You impacted wax onto your ear drum. It's not going to come out by itself because it's too far in the canal, so I'd suggest heading to your nearest Audiologist, doctor or ENT to get it removed. And don't ever use q-tips again. A moist washcloth should be used to clean off the OUTSIDE of the canal opening, but you should never stick anything in your ear. Your body cleans the wax out of your ear naturally.
How bad would a cartilage piercing hurt for someone who has a low pain tolerance?
I want a cartilage piercing done with a needle professionally. I hate hate hate needles though. 4 years ago, I got my lobes pierced with a gun (didn't know guns were bad) and it hurt like crazy when it went through my ear. I flipped out and i nearly passed out right after the piercing. So, for someone who thought a lobe piercing was super painful, how would a cartilage piercing be? And how much less does it hurt with a needle instead of a gun? Does it hurt so bad that you just want to sit all day and cry? or is it manageable? Thanks. :)
