[QUOTE="Llew, post: 1040512, member: 175007"] I had intermittent hearing problems when I was a child. When it became problematic, I was referred to an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist, who had a good visual probe inside my ears, but didn't find anything untoward. He then used an audio oscillator to send various tones at increasing strengths to a massive, heavy pair of headphones clamped to my ears (no noise-cancelling devices then, this was in the 40's) , to ascertain at what level I was able to hear the tones. I can't remember the outcome of this examination, but It was significant enough for me to remember it clearly now. I did have an operation at about that time for adenoid removal, so perhaps they were affecting my hearing. Since then, the usual problem of blocked ears, for which I had my GP's nurse syringe them out a couple of times, which incidentally I didn't find at all unpleasant. [/QUOTE]
