    Being that this is an audiophile community, hearing is obviously of the upmost importance. I’ve had a weird phenomenon with my right ear where loud noises trigger it into a buzzing/muting effect. I noticed it first about a year and a half ago when I was at a hockey game and the loud music caused my ear to buzz loudly. It has happened sparingly since, sometimes when I listen to music at home and when I’m in loud live music situations it really presents itself.

    I was able to conduct a in depth audiogram yesterday at Walter Reed medical center in DC. Unfortunately / fortunately? everything checked out just fine and my hearing was described as “awesome” by the tech. Looks like I will have to go to an ear specialist and probably have to get a CT scan to see what’s going on.

    Has anyone else suffered from ear/hearing issues? I am still able to enjoy my music but I have to be very careful with the volume

    Intermittent Tinnitus will do this... I have it too, thanks to a 4th of July mortar going off way too low.

    FWIW, I know not of what you folk speak

    on the rare occasion I get ringing in the ear / tennitis??

    all I do, is stick my finger in the ear . . .. and after 30- 60 seconds, it goes away

    I guess I'm a Lucky One . . . .Good Luck to you All

    I think I can relate somewhat--as I had a similar result many years ago. When I was 20, I was firing an M60 machine gun (Army) in a night fire exercise. .

    Your service to the USofA is most appreciated! THANK YOU, SIR!

    I've had tinnitus my whole life (well, as long as I can remember; i.e., I cannot remember a time when it wasn't there).

    That said, my hearing is pretty good. I can hear some noises that my wife doesn't pick up on until I mention them/it to her & her hearing is excellent. It's just something that's there in the background, all the time. If I don't think about it, I don't notice it as much. When I am aware of it, I'm more aware of it.

    I hope you get checked out by a competent specialist soon & good luck!
