Have you always had hearing problems or did it happen when you broke your wrist?
P.S. How much longer until your arm is healed. I feel for ya.

I'm half deaf in my right ear, and about 25% deaf (meaning I can hear 75% well) in the left. And I have to wear a hand splint for a couple weeks after this surgery I just had so no guitar playing for a while for me either I feel for you man, it sucks. What happened?

That blows man, i hope the wrist starts improving

made me feel bad. hang in there. i think people adjust to things, amazingly so, and then things are better. i have some tinnitus in my left ear (probably from an ear infection as a kid also), often slight, sometimes louder. when I first got it, i thought "how can I stand it?". then after awhile i just ignored it. i know hearing loss is a lot worse. but you will adjust to it, and accept it, and it won't bother you as much. so hang in there, and protect that one half good ear. no loud music!

edit: seriously, the electric guitar is not worth losing what you have left over. ether play low, or play acoustic.

if you totally ruin your hearing, it will be much worse. and your ears may be weak, i would not expose myself to loud anything, soccer matches, anything. always keep ear plugs handy. if you go to a concert, wear those ear plug that musicians wear, and just enjoy the atmosphere, without loudness.

Posted by: botoxfox Feb 4 2008, 07:26 PM

Man, that sucks, hope you get better...

Posted by: Milenkovic Ivan Feb 4 2008, 08:43 PM

Sorry to hear it, but try not to be depressed and be string. Overcome the problem like a hero, and you will feel much better. Try to ware antiphone/earplugs when you go on gigs, and take some ginko biloba pills. They do help a little. AS for the arm, it will get better, so continue on playing, again, try from all your hearth to overcome the problems. Life is tough and it is putting you on a test. Be strong man, I compassion with you!
