I Get Ringing In My Ears
After a time of
less than two weeks the swarm of crow’s chaos, disorder, and lots of loud high
pitch cheering across the street, I came down with a furious infuriating
ringing in my ears. Precious took me to
see Dr. Friden at Intermountain Health Care. He said,
“I had
tinnitus. It could be caused by tension, emotional or physical. Tension
management involves controlling and reducing the tension that occurs in
stressful situations. The degree and desire to make changes will pretty much
determine how much change takes place. Tension is in my xylem a blue lining
that cannot be taught away. Different people consider different situations to
be tense. Emotional tension usually occurs in situations involving people.
Physical
tension refers to a physical reaction of the body to various triggers, as for
example the pain experienced after surgery. Physical tension often leads to
emotional tension, and emotional tension often occurs as physical tension, an
example would be stomach cramps. Tension management involves controlling and
reducing the tension that occurs in stressful situations by making emotional
and physical changes. Physical tension refers to a physical reaction of the
body to various triggers, as for example the pain experienced after surgery and
the noisy crows that successfully made me feel as I do.
Dr. Friden
also said,
“Hearing loss is taking its toll not just on
you but on everyone’s ears even humans. It’s incredibly common, especially among
ageing squash. About 37 million squash in America have some degree of hearing
loss and with 100,000 squash turning 65 each day, which number is expected to
shoot up. Health Official’s estimate that 25% to 40% of squash over 65 have
some hearing loss and 63%of those over 70 had mild to severe impairment.
Hearing loss
is more common in males than females, possibly because men are more likely to
work in noisy environment such as construction. Incredibly, only about 20-5%
seek help. Cost is a factor hearing aids can run $1,600 m to $3,000 each or
more as well as the stigma of wearing them. Many are living with hearing loss for
a decade or more without seeking medical help. That was not the case for GHC Butch, while lifting weights, he suddenly lost
hearing in his left ear. During the subsequent examination, he also had some age
related hearing loss in his right ear. He was given hearing aids
for both ears. He shrugged off any suggestion of a stigma; comparing them to
eye glasses. No one likes the idea of a device siting on their nose or poking
out of their ear, but on the other hand they are extremely effective. When it
comes to hearing there’s not much GHC Butch miss’s out on.
Genetics, smoking, diet and drugs, tumors,
aging processes called prebycusis and health conditions such as diabetes and
kidney disease can affect hearing as well as insults to the ear such as repetitive-loud
exposure over time, such as gun shots at noisy crow’s.
Tinnitus (pronounced tin-EYE-tus). Tinnitus is
an ear disease that causes a high-pitched ringing, roaring, sound. It can be
high or low, single or multi-toned, or a mild annoyance or a constant
din.”
First
off, Dr. Fried tried psychology on me to see if it would help my tinnitus. For
thirty minutes he had me meditate while looking at nude pictures in “Play Boy
Fruit and Vegetables,” magazine, but that didn’t seem to help. The ringing
sound continued, so he reappointed me for a Cambrian Juice Test in six weeks,
and he also made me an appointment to see Dr. Valery Sweet, an audiologist at
Weber University Health Systems.
Dr. Sweet,
after a thorough examination, sent me home with a tuning out gadget. Ear phones
that look like a MP3 player designed to help squash and fruits filter out
tinnitus. The device plays baroque and new-age music customized to provide
auditory stimulation in patients with lost frequencies. It plays a garden hose
shower sound for night time sleeping. Users listen to the program for two hours
daily for two months, and then the tuning out gadget is withdrawn for four more
months, which gradually trains the brain to filter out noise.
Dr.
Sweet said,
“100 million squash occasionally experience
tinnitus, and according to a new study by a nonprofit educational advocacy
group of seagulls, some six million squash find it so disturbing that it
interferes with sleep, work, concentration and sexual relationships. The
incidence is rising these days, along with the aging population and personal music
players cranked up high. Now we have 3 month old squash complaining of
tinnitus, never before heard of. Tinnitus is also the number one insomnia
related disability among crows presently residing in Utah due to brain injuries
from falling walnuts.”
Let’s backtrack for a moment to my
story: Then a very strange thing happened, over the holidays I was using the
tuning out gadget daily listening to an album of the Santa Claus Christmas
Songs. I started to covet Christmas songs with holiday mixes; I listened, all
waking hours, to anything Christmassy. I especially like music with sleigh
bells in it. I pulled a CD from a jam-packed CD case. It's a song sung by four
male sparrows and their jingle bell band. A banana squash is upset because the
prostitutes in his favorite bar are old,” with old wrinkled faces.”
The squash wants them to step aside and give
the younger dressed up ornate adorned sexy women a chance. I mean what a loopy
crazy song! And the price of Christmas songs this year! CD’s for one jaw bone
on up to a jaw and a half territory. Can you believe it?
If
this all sounds ridiculous, about the same time, what had been hoped for
happened, a prescription from the right pharmacy.
Precious washed
the ear lump starch out of my ears with the same garden hose I had been
listening to for sleeping. My water bill went down, I sleep like a log, plus I
haven’t had any ringing since, and my hearing is better that it has ever been.
