Acoustic Shock/Trauma and Nerve Irritation from Girlfriend Jamming Her Fork Into a Plate?

[Aloman278]

Hey everyone,

I was eating dinner using a fork and knife and I scraped the plate and it made a big screech sound next to my right ear. Now my right ear feels full and I'm terrified that my tinnitus gets worse and the ear pain won't go away. I'm so scared and regret using a fork and knife.

Please can someone tell me I'll be okay? I am so scared.

I would appreciate any advice. Thank you so much!
