Somewhat Funny Hypervigilance Story

[JEKBreatheandBelieve]

I currently have two blocked up ears, one quite severely (an ear infection that hasn't gone away). After I washed my hair this morning, I wrapped my hair up in a towel covering my ears in the process. As I was getting ready, I kept hearing a knocking sound. I got scared. Who was it coming from in my house or outside? I bravely checked around. Now that the towel is off, I realize the fluid in my ear is making a knocking sound and that with the towel on I thought it was coming from somewhere else because it seemed louder. Just thought I would share that little story because it is a bit humorous.

LOL! I have done the same thing!! It's the strangest sound! When I would swim, that would happen! And no matter how often I heard it, intiially I always thought it was someone/something else. Then I was like... oh yea.... my ears.... :joyful::joyful:

I slightly recall similar experiences when I used to swim. I often responded by diving deeper down into the water and hiding on the bottom (how does that even make sense??) :P

I am getting over a plugged ear. It is not funny at all! I finally in desperation searched for a way to unplug my ears. Google "valvsaga" unplug ear. It worked on my ear in about 30 seconds. :)

@weavingcowboy - I totally agree that the plugged ear is not funny. I am desperately wishing mine would finally come unplugged, but just have to keep waiting. I am sorry you are dealing with that, too.
