today my right ear would go deaf on me, be replaced by a buzzing sound and then go away. all of this would happen in a matter of 5 seconds. the only thing ive been doing lately was some drilling on a friends car where the metal would vibrate really loud and just make everything really muffled. i dont listen to loud music either. Im thinking it might be from swimming because i have heard of such a thing called swimmer's ear and my friend has goten it before, but this also happened b4 swim practice today also. im not sure if its just a one day thing or if its serious. enlighten me ppl...

 

dont swimmers wear earplugs to keep the water out of their ears and sinuses?

 

not me, i dont even wear sunscreen. only thing i wear are goggles and a speedo.

 

that's a bit silly unless you are in an indoor pool..you're asking for skin cancer AND an ear infection. the water actually magnifies the sun for a couple of feet down.

 

sigh, so im guessing u dont know what is happening to me then? it has not happened since 3pm (its 8:45pm now...)
i think ill just forget about it.

 

talk to your swimming coach? or webmd?

 

eh, watever...ill talk to them 2morrow if it happens thx for your reply though.

 

You may have ringing in your ears. This is called "tinnitus" or something like that. I heard millions of people are affected by this. It is very common for those who are around high levels of volume.

 

actually it went away today, so i think its all good, ill keep an eye out for it.

 

Check the earwax...

I'm serious.
