I Get Ringing In My Ears
After a time of less than two weeks, I came down with a furious
infuriating ringing in my ears. Precious took me to see Dr. Friden at the Intermountain
Health Care. Dr. Friden 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 physical blue
lining that cannot be taught away. Different people consider different
situations to be tense. He also said, 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.
“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 a patient by the name of G.H.C. Butch, a large melon squash. While
lifting weights; he suddenly lost hearing in his left ear. During the
subsequent examination, he also was found to have 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 G.H.C. Butch said he 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, and insults to the ear such as repetitive-loud exposure over
time, such as shooting guns at 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 at the same time he 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. that had ear phones that look like a MP3 player designed to help squash
and fruits. 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 being 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 mainly 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 my 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.” Music insiders covet holiday mixes. People will
listen to anything if you put sleigh bells in it. bear with a rumbling basso
buffo voice to match E.Gorodetsky 54 is
an off the radar celebrity a star in two pop culture universes but little known
except to insiders Today he’s on a treasure hunt searching a half acre of
recorded music for gold at Amoeba Records in Hollywood. “This is a song you
just won’t believe!” He pulls a CD from a jam packed bin It’s a 1940 track by
Calypso king the Might Sparrow. The character singing is upset because the prostitutes
in his favorite bar are old with a face like Jack Parlance. He wants them to
step aside and give the younger women a chance. What a crazy concept for a
song! As a TV Mr. G has seven Emmy
nominations and one win. He has written for “SCTV,” Saturday Night Live” and
David Letterman. He now works with producer Chuck Lorre on the two most popular
half-hour comedies on television—Two and a Half Men” and the Tether Big Bang
Theory” plus the new “Mike a Molly” a new project. Writing a novel about
“celebrity paparazzi drugs and superheroes.” He was also the produce of
produced a crazy-quilt mix of genre-and-decade- jumping wings He has a record
collection contains a vast array of Christmas music. He made these holiday
songs into mixes and sent them to friends for years. Christmas Party with Eddie
G.” a collector’s item on Amazon.
What drives Mr. most is his zeal for
musical archeology and evangelizing. ”I’m not a musician. I don’t play an
instrument I can’t carry a tune, but I love music and I love sharing it. For
people who are beyond obsessed about music, k the need to share it I almost
like an emergency medical assist. It’s you duty to turn the other person on. If
you don’t they’ ’all die. The mix of his tapes and CD’;s were intended to do
more that spread holiday cheer, I rails against the homogenization of forms of
music that sprang from “whore hoses and gambling joints and back alleys” Some
marketing efforts turn artists like Howling’ Wolf into one of the Jamboree
Bars. It used to make me crazy to hear people say “That Country Music or jazz.
“True a lot of twee stuff passes for jazz and county these days but
there is no greater poetry than Hank
Williams. I can listen to Lester Young and
it breaks my heart. The idea with the mist rapes was to get people to listen to
stuff they wouldn’t normally listen, a reggae trash here then a county track
followed by a jump blues tune. I chose Christmas songs because “people will
listen to anything if you put sleigh bells on it.”
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.
