for anyone who cares i now have about half my hearing back. still ringing but the last few days it has improved each day so im hoping it continues like this.
this has all been really healthy for my love of sound. anyone ever take hearing for granted?

I take hearing for granted. If I ever lost it, I'd OD on something and die a very unhappy death. Music is all I really love. So when I heard that you may have lost some of yours, I just thought how horrible it must be. Good to hear that's it's improving, though. :-)

i hope you get your hearing back!
i would go insane if i became deaf. i would rather lost my sight. that would suck big time too though. but not to be able to listen and make music...
people! take care of your ears!

yeah, losing one ear made me think about losing both. ive played in a few extremely loud hardcore bands before on keyboard (my right ear always facing the band...) probably up around 120db or more. hearing loss starts at 80db. but this makes me have second thoughts about continuing this. or at least to buy some ear plugs.
i gave deafness some honost thought and it actually kinda broke my heart for a while. everyday since the first day i discovered music when i was around 10 has been completely filled up with music. i would think about it litterally 24/7. this week has been the first time that i stopped thinking about it simply because i was unsure if the dream was dead or not. very strange thing to experience.
what do you think about when youre not allowed to think about your dream anymore? im not sure.

that's my worst nightmare..losing my hearing. But i'm aware of it, because i listen to music everyday a bit too loud.
i'd rather go blind than deaf.

Good for yu, it's coming back. Being deaf for a music-lover is like being blind for a paintings amateur.

It's not so bad, I mean I've only ever heard out of my right ear until I had a special hearing aid implant in which electromagnetic signals bypass right into the organ that sends the signals into the brain. So yeah, I don't know what stereo sounds like. ^_^
