Partiallly deaf after raves...is that normal?

[diego85]

I was partially deaf for three days (still was able to hear but not normally) in TAO 2006.

Yestarday, at HSII 2007 after it finished I got the same problem..I guess it will be normal in the next couple of days....

Any of you have this problem?
Any suggestions?

hmmm weird.. i guess it comes with teh territory of sitting directly in front of a huge bank of speakers..

[Tekneekz]

no.. and you should be concerned. Perhaps get your hearing checked out. Hopefully you are not one of those people who hang off the speakers. That is sooooooooooo bad for your hearing. EARPLUGS use them... Some vendors dont sell them for nothing.

Check that out dude, it could mean something is wrong with your hearing. You might want to break in your ears before rave by listening to semi loud music just before partying.

I can remember on my 3rd crash, the my driver side airbag went off and tweaked my hearing for a solid 2 weeks. I FUCKING HATE AIRBAGSMY first crash was me hitting a wall at 40 with no airbag and to be honest, a better crash than the 3rd one I honestly beleive a seatbelt and a steering wheel are the best things for a crash. Not bullshit airbags that make you deaf or bruise a part of your body.

BUt getting abck on the topic, check your hearing out dude, could be serious!

ahhh, I always have trouble hearing the morning after a rave. its just because you are acustom to such loud sounds that your ears dont pick up quiter ones. try having people wisper to you when they talk, it makes your brain react to quiet quicker.
personaly, I think that doctors are over rated, but if you are really concerned, then check it out.
