Be careful with your ears! (And those of others)

A unexpected loud noise recently caused me to get tinnitus and hyperacusis, and trust me, you don't want either of them!

You know a diagnose is bad when Wikipedia lists suicidal thoughts as a common side effect....

May I ask what the loud noise was? And sorry to hear that. Tinnitus and hyperacusis suck.

  • A small firework rocket that someone launched sideways instead of up exploded within a few meters of me.

    I say small but I mean tiny. One of those that are sound only, no visuals.(Why are those even a thing?)
