There are times when I think I am suffering from some sort of ailment, but then I usually convince myself not to do anything about it. The only time I do something about my symptoms or ailments is when a doctor or my mother(a registered nurse), tells me I need to. Even then I don't always listen. Sometimes I just keep it to myself and worry about it on my own.
I had some sort of upper respiratory infection a few months ago and never took anything for it. I thought I got it out of my system, but I think I have it again. Also, I think I have damaged my hearing. I've been listening to music in my car way the fuck louder than I need to. I think thats part of it. Something else that can't be good for my hearing is my job. They are currently remodeling the Sam's Club where I work and so the part of the building I work in is always loud.
Reasons why I think my hearing is damaged:
</font>
- I have noticed that I've been asking people to repeat themselves quite often lately. I had trouble hearing people about 3 different times at work today</font>
- My ears feel strange. There is no pain, but they feel.. tired. I don't know. That is the best word I can think of for how they feel.</font>
Reasons why those reasons might suck:
</font>
- I've been asking people to repeat themselves quite a bit, but like I said earlier, the part of the building I work in is always loud, so maybe I'm fine.</font>
- Maybe my ears are just tired. Maybe they will feel fine when I wake up tomorrow.</font>
I'm hoping my ears feel normal when I wake up tomorrow. Whether or not they feel better, I am going to try and be nicer to them for a while by keeping music at a reasonable volume and avoiding loud noises as much as possible at work. I might want to look into ear plugs. I don't know. I'm still a bit worried.
