Hearing - March 2, 2010
It's very difficult to bitch about a personal crisis when everyone on the face of the Earth has at least one. However, if I don't let it out, it just sits in my head.
The deafness in my left Ear is really a challenge as I have relied on my hearing for music in particular for life. Of course, in time, I expect it to go away... just as it came. From what I've read and what I've been told, that could take some time. I lost my voice just over a Month ago and apparently this was the pre curser to my ear problem A raised temperature and generally feeling like a Sloth adds to the frustration.
Regardless, I'm going to continue to record and see/hear what happens. This could be the best thing to ever happen I say in my positive mind. This could be the worst I say in the other. So even though I don't expect this to be pleasant. I expect "The Brain" in all it's grandness to assist as it has with general hearing loss and Tinitus for all these years. Easy to say... you should have worn this or that when playing at Aeroplane Engine Volume live on stage. I can tell you, nothing worked or could have and to hear everything through cotton wool is ridiculous.
So, after having a good lie down I've recorded a little and the first Track "Everybody Knows" despite the discomfort... sounds ok? I think. The worst is the discomfort and the pressure that builds up within the inner era itself. What's more, I'm not sure it such a great idea as to causing further damage.
So, that's my dilemma. That's my personal complaint and one that I shall have to deal with just a s every other deals with his or hers. As you may know some dear friends have far worse to contend with. So this page is a general page for me.
No matter what it is you may have to do battle with, each is relevant to the individual and as big as others' may be, there is no point in playing the martyr or simply dismissing any issue as to me, we're all in the same boat. Each positive though or otherwise may resonate with another and as they say... a problem shared.... for all my friends in trouble at the moment, my thoughts are with you.... I'd just like to hear you, up close and personal.
To all,
Cheers,
