hardware (physical ears) in working order, yay!

Hurrah for that. Was hoping that it'd be something simple like a wax production overdrive that required syringing or something (a treatment I and several other family members ... presumably hereditary condition ... require about once per decade on average)

Some of your symptoms sound like those of my own intermittent tinnitus, so might want to include that term in your Googling (tinnitus isn't always ringing in the ears ... my own, when it kicks in, usually sounds exactly like the sound effects used on cartoons for traffic jams, but also occasionally manifests as more subtle white noise that makes it hard for me to pick out particular voices/sounds. And I can't even blame teenage music syndrome because I always hated having music, even rock, or anything else played loudly ***GRIN***)

See my latest post for more details :)

Evidently my ears are very clean, so this is not a problem.

And you are so, SO wise not to have blasted rawk (or other music!) in your younger years. Sure, you didn't like it and that helped, but seriously - you can avoid so many problems down the line that way!

Glad to hear you're squeaky clean ***GRIN***

Saw your follow-up appear a short while after I'd posted this response ... nice to know that you've got a diagnostic lead (may check up on that m'self in case there's anything useful I can employ against the tinnitus ... just because it's basically a short-circuit in the brain creating imaginary noise doesn't mean I can't try to fight back)

I've had much cause to be glad of my loud music loathing because I know that, despite the t-thing, most of the time I've better hearing than several younger-than-me folk of my acquaintance. Although I do chuckle sometimes over the fact that I may have been the only teenager on the planet to have had a habit of asking parental units to please crank down the volume on their stereo. On the downside, means I've had to pass on a lot of tempting concerts because I can't cope with loud amps at all (those do leave me functionally deaf ... I end up able to hear the rhythms for hours afterwards, but not much else, as if my poor eardrums are stuck on that particular vibration frequency or something). Ah well ... I just spent the money on books instead. ;p
