I know that compared to a glass shattering this might sound less of a problem. But this is no joke. My ears are worse than in the last few weeks. And the boom sound was loud and I was worried immediately. I try to calm down. I hesitate to throw the bottle again at this point because who knows...

I dropped a big full plastic bottle of water on concrete floor from some height and now my ears are acting up. The bottle is 3 lb and it dropped from a height of 5 feet. It made a loud low boom and the bottle bounced back from the ground twice. I am glad that it was no glass bottle but it was...

Just an update: Trying to stay calm and forget about it but it's easier said than done. T still louder but I could get a few hours of sleep. Two biggest challenges: still trying to figure out how loud it was replaying the situation in my head trying to remember the sound and fearing that I have...

Please I need help. Today I was driving in my car with all windows up. I passed a construction site and suddenly then there was an incredibly loud sound from a machine, definitely louder than a jack hammer. I don't know what but I am not talking a few hits with hammer or even a metal grinder...

Hi again. I took a herbal med that contained bearberry (containing hydroquinone/arbutine) for a bladder infection some time ago. The doctor proposed an antibiotic but I am against taking them so I resorted to this herbal med. No ear-related side effects are stated by the pharmaceutical company...

Thank you! A bit better today though not back to what it was

Hi guys, I am an unlucky sod and so upset right now. I was sitting in my living room reading with my brother sitting a few feet away and he is a very loud sneezer. Of course he had to sneeze and I automatically, really like a reflex out of fear raised both hands fast and covered both ears with...
