Interesting!
I am a part time music reviewer, and night before last attended a very LOUD concert of Latino Christmas music. It was excruciating at times, and I held my ears shut for some of it. I don't know why people subject themselves to such outrageous noise, but over a thousand did that night, including the conductor, who is a personal friend. I will be sending him a email asking if he wore ear plugs to protect his hearing. If not, I am going to give him "what for" for being so careless and assuming his hearing will last forever (OK, so he's an Immortal like we probably once were).
I just purchased a set of Sennheiser headphones that will be useful in blocking jet engine noises when I fly, which is about every other weekend. I also tried them listening to the television, and they block out low, rumbly noises. (The Sennheiser technology is the same as Bose, but half the price and bulkiness.) It may have good application for me in the workplace, and come Monday, I will give them a try at work to see if some of the giggling racket by the women near my desk is also attenuated.
Do you think that inhaling the steam of hot tea, or some other form of getting heat into the eustation canals via the oral cavity would be helpful? Do you have any knowledge of how your father got cured? Of course, if you did, you would have done it already!
Please stay in touch. This is interesting.
