that sounds intresting i maybe keen. went to the hearing doc today told me what i already know. i smashed the little bones in my inner ear, after landing next to the road in a screaming heap. two options..an operation that prob wont work, and has the potential to make matters worse, or a tiny little hearing aid. i choose the latter.

Gapped axe

I just googled Noel and found that he was a past president of the hearing Association from 1985 1988. I won't write about the exercize's as others may try and label me or try sue me for doing something that I'm not qualified to do, happy to talk 1 on1 about it as there is then no paper trail. I bet this page gets some hits. By the way Anybody google Noel Roydhouse

For some reason I always think of "the old axe wound" whenever I see his name. I must just be a dirty bastard. I have no idea what Gapped Axe is supposed to mean!

Righto. Do not wanna cause days on the phone for old Gapped Axe but I rang him just over a week ago. It was good talking to him and I appreciate his time. I reckon the intensity of my tinitus has halved!!!! It is friggin awesome and I have been sleeping better.

Cheers Mate.

oK R93 what I'd GA do for you. Is he some kind of voodoo witch doctor?

No, not at all but he did ask that I not pass on what he told me. If you have a tinitus problem he is well worth contacting via pm.
I am stoked with the results so far.

Well , my hearing loss is not curable, 50% loss across all ranges from birth, don't wear aids either as i work outdoors and wind noise just makes them go staticky which sux so i just make do. if i can't hear you i just have to get closer. I always tell my prospective employers at interveiws as i have had some funny looks when i have being employed and they realise i can't hear properly:thumbsup:

I shot the .300WSM and the brake was almost point right at my ear and I forgot the plugs and took the shot and I was hearing ringing for 11 hours before it came right, Never make that mistake again.

Basically they are reactive (think: cool reactive welding helmets)

Only one problem here Dougie, those helmets are only for the flashy types/them that don't know as they are pieces of shit.

Its a paradox, and much easier to handle when logic is excluded.

Dougie, message sent to me by a fan of yours for your attention - Back a few years when men were men and God help us even boys grew hairs out of there ass that would ‘gap an axe’

From what I understand (and I am no expert, merely recalling high school biology) the hair cells within one's inner ear which convert air vibrations into sound will deteriorate with age regardless. Overstimulating them by continued <insert exposure to loud activity here> will only hasten their demise.

Basically once you're past the age of about 10, these hairs begin to "die". If one looks under a microscope and compares the inner ear of say... a young child compared to a septuagenarian, the child's ear has hairs in abundance whereas the older person's ear, looks like a barren forest.

So I see 2 perfect solutions here, a) get a left hand drive car, or b) let the wife drive, and get a cig lighter powered portable beer chiller.

Interestingly, I had a hearing test just 4 months ago and apart from the Tinitus my hearing is in the normal range.

The bugger about that is now my missus knows that I am able to hear OK, she just accuses me of being an ignorant bastard. I don't know about your time in the green machine but ear plugs/muffs were not provided when I was in.

Rushy your the bastard ringing me? I"ll never hear silence again, well maybe when Im dead!

Mine ring all the time. I have taught myself to just ignore it so most of the time I am not conscious of it. It is an arsehole at this time of the year with the Cicada's chirping as that is exactly what my tinitus sounds like.

I shot the 300wsm without the ear muffs once and it had me hearing ringing for a lonnnnngggg time. was complete mute for a couple mins. (has brake) anyway I had my hearing test the other day as usual with chemo as it can effect hearing and mine normally looks like this.

Attachment 7104

But I knew in my left ear it wasn't going to be good( thats the ear that copped it all) It now looks like this

Attachment 7105

Always wear ya muffs!!!

As I understand it there is basically two typs of damage, constant noise ie grinder machinery concert, which your ears can protect themselves from for about an hour then damage is slowly but surly occurring.
and the other, sudden noise which your ears cannot protect themselves from, explosions sledge hammers etc.

It never ceases to amaze me how much my hearing improves if I can get away from it all,same for my sense of smell.
Sensory overload living in disturbia.
