Zimmer, did you choose your Avatar or were you given it?
As for the right ear thing - I did a lot of work in the butts and at the ammo point, seems my right ear has suffered for that. And it's been entirely my fault for not wearing hearing protection! The ringing and throbbing comes usually when it is quiet and I am resting, ie just before going to sleep.
ACC are c*nts and even worse for me, the army has some little stamp of approval to say that they can deal with their own ACC stuff so double c*nts for me!!!!!! I feel your pain brother.

Hey dougie, With the trying to go to sleep ringing, I found having music playing in the background a big help in masking it![]()

It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.

I have a bit of hearing damage from when I spent part of my younger years in the 6th hauraki battalion pipe band from the noise of the bag pipes (can't stand the noise of those fucking things anymore) and through driving cabless tractors and working in cowsheds with noisy vacuum pumps coupled with shooting firearms with no ear muffs so I think I will definitely be going with a suppressor on my next rifle or get those sound sensitive earplugs.

Yep defiantly some white noise helps with the sleeping. I find a fan on low good. Especially in summer;-)
I have Tinitus in my right ear, but not from shooting but rather not equalising properly while diving a few years back. My ear just never stopped ringing. It got real bad at one point soon after the actual 'incident' when I was cutting up rings with the chainsaw that I lost my equalibrium (internal balance) became very nauseous and damn near passed out. Luckily I was onto it enough to shut the machine of smart quick as it could of got messy.
Long story short and 4 specialists later I have perminent partial hearing loss (in the higher frequencies) and a constant dial tone in my ear. I have the same issue in crouds and bars where I cannot hear a damn thing especially with the fairer sex (I think due to the higher frequency they speak in, or a developed skill of selective hearing).
I have learned to live with it and don't really notice it most of the time, but sometimes it agrivates me like when I am listening to the car radio, etc.
The frustrating thing is there really is not way to fix it that I have come across and all the specialist ever say is don't go diving any more...like hell thats gonna happen![]()
Hunting is not a hobby.....its an addiction
There is a pic of some dork wearing some way back in the thar trip thread and i think also Dougi e s first kills thread
Ok here's the real deal. I have 45% hearing in both ears, always have had it, same as my Brother same as Mum, who I guess we both inherited it from. It's called reflective hearing and is genitic. Luckily both of my kids have normal hearing. Mum and the Bro wear hearing aids all the time, me only when I can be bothered as I like my quite world. Hearing aids are a pain in the butt at pubs, parties etc as in my case the brain can not block out background noise as it has never heard it before. Many years ago I got tinitus and then I would get vertigo a few minutes later. My Doctor banned me from Diving yeah rite, I was working commercialy part time, banned me from Driving (Dick head) and from working on heights (Craftman Plumber as well ). I did a job for the police, a body retrival and the Doc got to hear about it. So he sent me to two differnet so call ear,nose throat specialist, Quacks more like it and with the same prognosis. My dive Boss told me of and Old Chap who had a practice in Remuera and suggested I see him. Are you still following me. Hear (PUN intended) is the real deal. MOST TINITUS CAN BE CURED. Bullshit I hear you say. Well $700 later he cured me. No Drugs no more restrictions, no more cotezone injections and no more vertigo and tinitus. What is also unbelievable is that I have shown others what the doc did for me and have had good results for most. If I now start to get tinitus I do a simple exercise and it is gone instant and I wont see it again for oh may be a year or so. Sadly I was one of his last patients as Noel has passed away, and obviously the new guys on the block haven't learnt from him. I dumped my Dive Doctor and scored a new one. When the new Doc read my notes he had nothing but good things to say about Noel and the library above his head contained a number of books written by him for diving medical related problems. My Uncle came down for the opening of trout fishing and told me of this dizziness and ringing in his ears he was having issues with. 2 weeks later, he rang and told me of having heaps of improvment. Noel Roydhouse was the Doctor and if googled maybe you can find help there or tell your specialists to look it up. If you where in my neck of the woods I would show and tell. Other symtons are grinding teeth when asleep and a clicky jaw. Whew
Describe said exercize please gapped axe
