Topic: problem in my ear after djing?

Dieses Thema ist veraltet und kann veraltete oder falsche Informationen enthalten.

Durning school today, when i was walking to my second period class, i heard this "wood knocking sound" in my right ear. When i got home, i knew from then i had a problem in my ear. It sounds like a woodpecker is pecking on wood in my ear. but once in a while.

It all started today, yesterday i was djing from 4PM to 830PM with some breaks in between (i was making a party mix). i am using standard headphones (itouch, mp3, etc. headphones). the music wasn't too loud. and where i am, its kind of cold. Northern Virginia to be exact. i did put some pressure on my right headphone cause i have no set so i did the seperation (Main Left and Mix Right)

so what can it be?
is it common?
how can i prevent it from happening again?
how can i cure it?

i know its a lot but its my first time getting this so please help me out. i love djing and i will never get bored of it, so what can it be??

thanks

Everyone is different. Your ears just may be more sensitive than the next guy. I have always played my music too loud, been in several bands as a musician, was a Cavalry Scout in the Army, we fired some heavy duty weapons and worked with Tankers firing 105 mm canons on the tanks, sometimes without proper ear protection.

Then I've DJed in loud clubs for years, worked security at many concerts and owned a car audio and home theater shop for a long time which got me involved in many SPL/SQL competitions, we're talking super loud bass systems in my vehicles for over 25 years including now.

I would estimate that I have suffered at least a 25 to 30 percent hearing loss over the years. Considering all I have been through, this is not too bad.

You may have experienced some permanent hearing damage. Prolonged exposure to extreme sonic levels can be very detrimental to your aural sense. On the other hand you may be lucky and have just temporarily injured your eardrum or other part of your inner ear. Lets hope you didn't perforate your drum.

You should immediately seek medical attention because it could get worse untreated. We take our senses for granted sometimes, especially our hearing. I have been extremely fortunate. I hope for your sake you haven't done much damage.

Get it looked at and for God's sake, turn it down a little!

Keep Spinnin' (at moderate sound levels!)
 
mind your volume levels and sort out some proper ear plugs
 
Could just be an earwax problem.

DONOT attempt to clean your ear out with cotton wool sticks or with any tool..

In the chemist (drugstore) here in the UK there is a product called Audiclean.
Designed to was out wax from your ears by means of a simple spray applicator.
Compleatly painless and saves a visit to your local doctor for them to do it.
 
there is also ear plugs you can get that filter out only part of the noize . I have non stop ringing and its one day going to stop and IM not going to hear anything.
 
The music probably WAS too loud and you need to be asking a hearing/ear specialist, not us. :)

Dude, again, you've read my mind..Hope everything is well with the studio (you know what I mean) and such...Are you through with school? How's married life?

Anyway, I was in the ambulance biz for years, and I've lost a good part of my upper spectrum of hearing - thus, my bassy mixes, LOL. Seriously though, protect your hearing; you won't EVER get it back!
 
Im Dominican and my merengue music has to be loud. Its rare for me to have an ear ache. If i had a problem that kept coming back, I would see a ear specialist.
 
Sounds like a small insect or spider has crawled into your ear.
 
go to the doctor, ask him for otex ear drops and an apointment in 2 weeks to have your ear syringed (washed out).. i had a problem just like yours not too long back. i lost my hearing entirely in my left ear. turns out it was just a heavy wax build up due to me working in a construction environment and playing so much loud music.

you have nothing to worry about man just go see the doctor. be fixed in a week or 2 depending how bad it is. may only take as little as 4 days.

another thing it could be is with the cold moisture has got inside the ear and is causing a wax breakdown which will release air and caust the ear to sound strange... this also happens when using drops to clear out the wax
