ear issues

[Rye]

When I was 9, my ears randomly started to gush blood in school, it was really scary. I had to go to the emergency room. ;__;

There was some kind of Myth in China, hat if you point to the moon, your ear gets a lil cut. My sister did it once AND IT ACTUALLY GOT A CUT!! it really scared me, and the cut never stopped until 4 years later

I am very glad, reading this thread, that I have never had a problem with my ears of greater severity than a little pain during a cold.

I get few ear infections. Unfortunatlely, I'm dealing with one right now, and the feeling is comparable to being strapped barebacked to a leather seat in a car with the windows rolled up, no air conditioning, nothing to drink, and having your head in a vice while being kneed in the groin repeatedly.

I have bad wax build up. I wont go into the details at the doctor's office....

I had an ear infection when I was little. It was from swimming. It was terrible.

When I was younger I had to have these things called grommits put in my ears 2 times, I can hear fine though, it's understanding which is my problem.

I'm not exactly immune to ear infections. Right around Christmas of '05, I had a terrible ear infection in my right ear. When it first sprung up at my uncle's house, it was a terribly accute pain, and I wanted to cry. It sounded as if it was filled with water for 2 or 3 weeks, which sucked. That was during the band trip to San Diego for a week, and it didn't quite uncomplicate things. ...Stupid ear.

I had a couple ear infections when I was younger too. Not fun. :3

thats called swimmers ear. the fluid in the ear doesntdrain causing bacteria to grow in the fluid, which eats away at the thin layer that protect the inner ear.

I had swimmer's ear once.

Nope. My ears have always been great. I keep them very clean and such.

One thing I do fear though is cauliflower ear. Especially because I am a wrestler at my high school. Blegh. Not a good thing to have.
