Going deaf in right ear...

[kuijo 10+ year member]

My grandma went deaf in both of her ears for 30 years. She said the ringing was so bad sometimes she would fall on the ground crying and she thought about killing herself all the time. She had surgery on one of them so she can hear ok out of one, but its hard for her to participate in a large conversation and when she hears noises she can't tell which direction it came from.

I can't hear what you just posted.

I got four mounted tweeters in the front of my car so I know how bad those high snares can hit the ears ( probably should turn em down ) and I have had countless amounts of SPL blasted at me so I have probably done some reasonable ear damage myself, but I accept it and know that it is just part of car audio if you take it to the extreme like I and probably 90% of the people on this forum have done

there is no way speakers can even begin to reproduce the tru crack of a snare, my rimshots can kill small children at 50 paces,

Title says it all. my right ear is going deaf and I don't know what to do about it. SEARCH brought up that it's psychoacoustics (Left side seems louder, isn't) and improper imaging, so would kickpanels help?

Go see a doctor and get your hearing checked out....could just be a big gob of ear wax that needs draining...no pun intended

Well, it's none of the above. Basically, a long drive with loud music and improperly tuned gains. My hearing came back, but I haven't gone near the same volume level since. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/hide.gif.2d479cfd917eedfe201353b91522ceab.gif

For the curious: Alpine CDA 9807 / Rainbow SLC 6.5s + PPI PCX 280 / two IA 187 12s + Orion 1200. The problem I've learned is that the Rainbows are just incredibly efficient for comps. To the point where the gain on the PPI is as low as it can possibly go, and I still can't go much higher than 20 / 35 on my HU. I have thought about running them off HU power just to see if it helps.

Yeah I have problems hearing out of my right ear from marching snare and not using anykind of ear protection. I started using those little "hearos" things for when I marching and play set. Chief
