Brb, buying earplugs...
Maybe they'll counteract the effects of using headphones with high bass... Hmm.

Do you use earplugs regularly? Just a warning...

One sound that earplugs will not block out is deep droning bass or the thudding type. The frequencies that bass runs on are so low that are more felt rather than heard.DarthNinja said:
No, I mean my Creative XFI's bass is doing damage to my left ear mehinks. (Thats my headphone ear).ThatPurpleGuy said:
Maybe the magic power of earplugs can restore my amazing hearing!
In all seriousness, I have a great deal of trouble distinguishing sounds in a loud environment (yes, I know everyone does, but it seems to be worse for me, I can be sitting with someone else exactly equidistant and at the same angle from someone talking in a loud room, the other person will hear everything perfectly, I'll hear nothing intelligible). So, this hyper-sensitivity is actually sounding pretty good to me.
I guess you'll just have to wean yourself off the headphone addiction, much like any other addiction. Find a quiet room and gradually expose your ears to louder and louder music? (Don't go over the top, but it sounds like you're going to have to do something). Good luck =)
Before you try this severely consider the implications of a superpowered lower rear orifice. You may not really enjoy that especially if you consider the lack of control reported to go with this ability.Bladecatcher said:
I myself don't use earplugs but often do experience the afrementioned hearign issues. load noise such as tv/music is effective at blocking it out but any other noise tears at the ears and scrapes at the inside of my skull. the worst indivdual noise is knives and forks clattering and scratching on plates, however the worst total is when I get struck with it when I am standing at my checkout at work surrounded by the god awful creatures incessant monkey chatter. thoe couple right in front of my are ok but all those background noises make me want to scream and start wailing at them with whatever item of grocerys I happen to be handling at the time. I've come up with a few interesting uses for common household items/vegetables for example have you ever considered the correlation between the size of and average carrot when compared to an eyesocket almost like they were intended to be used like that
Awh, I love wearing headphones... I pretty much use them for everything, music, games, youtube or other videos on my laptop. I don't think I'd enjoy it as much without them. Well, future me can worry, I'm livin it up!BonsaiK said:
How long does it take for hearing to go by the way? Right now I've hearing sensitivity well above average...
I agree with this guy. Loud music is really only fun when you do it. When others do it, you want to slap them and tell them to shut the fuck up.Uberjoe19 said:
OT: I don't like total silence either. I usually have a fan or humidifier going to make some background noise when I sleep. Plus, earplugs would get annoying, as I can't even stand the earbuds for music and stuff.
I think how it works is, the earplugs protect your ears... allowing them to repair and be more effective than normal, or at least, that's how it seems and you can hear better.
I've just got good hearing anyway and on top of that, I can't block out background noise, so I feel for ya.

Well then, you immediately need to start wearing eye patches over both eyes as well. Imagine the possibilities.........
But yeah, I also have abnormally good hearing. When I got tested some years back I was well above the average of human hearing for both the high and low spectrums. It was a neat thing to know.

I would never use earplugs to sleep thru noise, rather i use music, and earphones, and chilled out music. But being addicted to silence sounds rather wonderful.
I get really bored with silence. To the point where I really want music on whatever im going. I even once almost tried to listen to music during a lecture, but then i realised that i needed my ears for the lecture.
