WTF, Hearing damage?

[HeatSeeker 10+ year member]

The other day i noticed everything I hear in my right ear sounds extremely high pitched compared to normal. It wasnt like it gradually happened I woke up checked my voice mails on my phone and was like "wtf". Thought my phone was ****ing up but then I noticed it listening to my car stereo, and during conversation at work. Ive been told it could be a wax buildup inside my ear and can probably be removed with no problem. I thought it was hearing damage at first but I never really listen to my music loud (stock stereo //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif ) plus it pretty much happened over night. Anyone else ever experienced anything like this and if so what did you do about it?

I have tinnitus due to a gunshot right beside me..Funny how I didn't get it from shooting high powered rifles myself..But I was filming my brother one night while he shot the deer..Muzzle blast messed me right ear up. Constant ringing in it ever since..I got down about it at first, but i got over it quick. I mean hell, its just a ringing.

Its not a constant ringing though, sounds that are already there just sound "tinny".

You have been exposed to a stock stereo for too long. This causes your ear to emulate the same tinny experience around the clock. It is a simple fix. Just go to your nearest stereo shop and spend a couple Gs on some good SQ gear. Your ears will return to normal after a few weeks of potent exposure.

Good luck.
