I've woke up this morning completely and utterly deaf in my left ear. Can't hear a peep. It's happened before when waking for a few seconds, but a quick wiggle of the ear sorted it. I've washed the bugger out, stuck a cotton wool bud in, to no avail.

What's going on???

Could be anything. Spider in ear, wax build-up, malignant brain tumour, go see a doctor. :yes:

Spider in ear, malignant brain tumour

:(

I've woke up this morning completely and utterly deaf in my left ear. Can't hear a peep. It's happened before when waking for a few seconds, but a quick wiggle of the ear sorted it. I've washed the bugger out, stuck a cotton wool bud in, to no avail.

What's going on???

Probably some sort of infection. I would see a doctor about that, he'll probably give you some drops or something to put in your ear. Don't worry, I'm sure it's nothing serious.

Do you have your finger in it? :?

You're turning into a layydeeeee, they hear what they want, when they want.

Good ear, bad ear.

From now on you will be known as Bill Oddie (Bill Odd-Ear).

I doubt it's serious if it goes after a wiggle.

Hmmm. That is odd.

I have tinnitus of the ears, and it happens about once a day. A whistling noise in my ear kind of 'clicks' on.

if you've had a cold it could be katar affecting it.

I actually think I might have that. I've heard a kind of whistling noise many times before but only when it's generally quiet. Not everyday but often.

You probably wanked too hard. It happens...

It would be quite unusual for anything to land in his ear though eh?

Have you seen Something about Mary? He 'came' close in that one..... :cheers:

you do know that putting a cotton bud in your ear is bad? the fibres of the cotton come off whilst you use it and they collect up to the point where you'll end up with a big ball of cotton and wax that require being removed. Also, the more you stuff things into your ears the more wax is produced, so it becomes a viscious circle.

I ended up getting kinda deaf in one ear cause of a cold - it felt like someone had their finger in my ear all the time cause all the sound was muffled as I heard it... eventually cleared up after a week or so.

Thats probably a grub/maggot in your ear blunther.This happened to my mate.Stick some tape over you ear.The bug will sufficate and try to escape and move to the outside of your ear the use tweezers.

or perform a van gogh act

just sweat, eat raw leeks, garlic, sprinkle whiskey and pepper over it

I even survived Mogwai and Sebadoh without any damage done

Niccccccccccccccce :puke:

Forget tape, spray some lynx in your ear and light it up!

i think cotton wool buds are more bad becasue you push the wax down into your ear. If you push too hard obviously you'll damage the ear or just completely block the gap between the ear drum and the outside world. you could try warming your ear up in hot water - eg under the bath - or on TV they've been advertising some new spray that they probably sell in boots.

Otex Ear Drops are meant to be very good.

You'd better see a real doctor to decide on this, Blunther.

If that's in my earhole then suicide's the only option I think.

It's still playing up. Stone deaf until about three hours after I wake up. I should see a doctor but I don't like going.

Do you have a cold Blunther? Because if its clearing up after you wake up, that probably means that you ear is filling up with mucus or something as you sleep. Obviously once you're awake and upright its draining off.

I do have a bitch of a cold at the moment. I also have a sort of perpetual cold, where I sneeze my nads off until about 1 o clock, then it's fine till I get home, when I have one or two more snezing fits.

Oh the joys of being a Blunther.

Get an allergy test. Do you have a job sniffing kittens os something similar? :?

I'm allergic to dust and hair.

Which is a shame 'cos I live in a dusty house and am hairy.

At least you're not allergic to snot. That would be unfortunate....

The more I snot the more I sneeze, and even more snot pours forth.

Maybe I am... :(

I'm allergic to cats and thick carpets, because you wanted to know.

Use the shower head to clear out your ear.

Don't. You'll likely inject your head with legionella that grows in the shower head itself.

being a hearing-imparied hypochondriac i'm interested - you cured yet blunth?

Nah. It were great this morning though. Right ear in the pillow, left ear up in the air. Didn't hear me alarm. Woke up to the missus punching me in the back :\

A good wiggle fixed it this morning sooner than it would usually clear up.

I'm getting used to it now. Sadly, it's becoming a friend.

oh dear - get to the doctor now

Ask someone to snort out your ear drum.

Well it's been stone deaf now since Friday night, apart from the odd bout of tinnitus. Went to the chemist at lunchtime and they've given me some drops (urea hydrogen peroxide - piss and bleach? Lovely :crazy: ).

Just to keep you all updated, 'cos I'm sure you're enthralled.
