I had my ears tested today

[norrahe]

I'm sorry you've got it bad, that can't be easy.

Tell you what, next time I'm chatting you up in a pub and neither of us are understanding a dickie bird, just tell me who you are and we'll slip outside where it's quieter.

(Er, you are a lady aren't you?)

EH? WHAT??? STEP OUTSIDE???? YER ASKIN' FER IT LUV

sheesh some people the cheek

[norrahe]

Yes I am a Laydee

don't you know

[hyperD]

Could be. I do get a bit of a buzz at night. What's the cure for that?

Check your blood pressure - can sometimes cause tinnitus.

There isn't any atm, unfortunately you have to put up with it for the rest of your life (I've got it quite bad) awful when you can't hear a thing when you're out in pubs etc...

I find it helps if you look at the persons lips as they're speaking, it helps you focus on that particular conversation.

We just text each other.

I have it as well - I can't hear people speak to me if there's background noise. I had my ears tested out OK but my doctor told me it was age related.

[BlasterBates]

Yup age, if you´re over 40 then "normal" hearing is still as deaf as a door post, and if you´re not yet as deaf as a door post you soon will be, so there isn´t a lot of point worrying about it, jusr get one of those big horns to stick in your ears.

[TimberWolf]

You eyes are almost knackered by the age of 40 too. Nature doesn't much care either way if you live or die after that age it seems.

... and some people in offices at work sound like barely coherent mumbling?

I get that all the time, then I realised that a lot of the people in the office actually are barely coherent mumbling buffoons.

Anyone ever had their ears syringed?
