It’s a noisy world

Some of you might remember the problem I had with my left ear about a month ago. Well, I got some exciting news! On Friday I decided to go to the doctor because the olive oil was obviously not working. I went to the walk-in center and they put a syringe in my ear and sprayed hot water down there. It took a while, and the first doctor wasn’t able to fix me so she had to call in another doctor. It was so much stuff in there! Now, the interesting part is that they got out all the goo, but I still couldn’t hear properly. Something else was blocking the ear canal. What could it be? Well the doctors had to call in a specialist and even he couldn’t figure out what it was. They got it out and even so, there were wild speculations about the foreign object in my ear. I took a brief look at it, and it was a small black square block of something.

The doctors had a theory that I got more than I paid for when I had the horrendous hair cut last week. Their theory was that the hairdresser had stuffed a lot of hair down my ear. As funny as that theory is, I have come up with a theory of my own. I think my alien brothers have finally found me and the device was a simple alien implant! Anyway, like almost every episode of X-Files the evidence got destroyed so we will never learn the truth, but THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!

I must say I enjoy the medical services here in England. I just went into a walk-in center, got my problem fixed and walked out of there, not paying anything. I’ve been there 3 times and the consultations are apparently free. I love it!

It’s nothing like getting your full hearing back after a month of muffled hearing. Everything is so noisy! Suddenly I could hear that I had coins in my left jacket pocket when I walked and that rolling cigarette butt rolling on the pavement made a proper impression. The bus home was creepy as I thought it would fell apart due to the creaking and engine noises that I have never heard before.

Well, all is good! It’s getting back to normal and I take my hearing for granted again. It was a very interesting experience and I am glad I had it.
