So, since about this time yesterday afternoon, my world has gone rather right-heavy. I've been having a slightly blocked left ear since, hmm, Sunday or Monday, and its usually cleared up by now, however, yesterday it got stuck in let's filter the world mode. Decided to visit the docs today, and he confirmed that its a buildup of wax that's gone hard. Something that doesn't usually happen much to me. I now have drops to take, and getting the syringe on Monday. Oh boy.
@arfy I"m surprised they didn't just vacuum it out. OH boy drops though, haven't had those in a while.
@cordova5029 They would have, but probably wouldn't have done much if the wax was hard, I imagine. Yeah nicki tells me the drops will make the ear go crackle crackle. buzz? lol
@arfy ever had one ear go flat, or sharp, and the other stay standard?
@cordova5029 oh god? no. that sounds bad. I have the entire existance go sharp or flat when I've had a cold.
@arfy no, this only happened to me once, I went to dial a phone number, and the dial tone, regular standard American, was flat, listening to music at all was a dumb idea. iV'e had the cold thing too though, but this was odd. my ear was plugged, and it only lasted a day, but along with being plugged, it was flat.
@cordova5029 Damn. you're probably too young to have heard an old-fashioned dial tone of any stripe live. Aside from our friendly fwoofy doorbell recordings.
@arfy I've heard the b flat thing live, from about 91 to 94.5 where I live now, had the b flat dial tone, and the well, it was like a nasal ring for hte ring. I can immatate it, I can't remember what they called it in phreak land. it kinda went ke onk, but modulated. CDO ring maybe?
@cordova5029 wow. your exchange must have still been a step CDO.
@arfy yep, until 94. I wish I could like, research the old exchanges for like Duluth and Carlton and Cloquet. I'd also love to know what all the 2 letter combinations where. There was this thign called the phone exchange project, but it never let me use it right, you had to select your country and region from a bunch of combo boxes
