This is what its like to be deaf

There is a constant ringing in my ears. Especially in my left ear, it is horrible. And my left ear feels plugged. So this is what it is like to have hearing loss.

I went to that concert last night, the one that I had free tickets for. I didn't really know that band was a hard core "rock" band. There popular song "lips of an angel" is rock but not to hardcore. The two warm up bands were serious headbanngers. The second band a guy swung his guitar around and around his neck and once hit himself in the head.

My feet ached because I stupidly chose high heels to wear. The concert was seeming to be a bore until the 2nd band, Finger-Eleven played a song that I didn't know they played "One Thing." I was pleased. Hinder (the headliner) also did a cover of my favorite song from when I was 4. "Take me home tonight," by Eddie Money.

So as I emerged from the venue, I discovered my deafness. My best friend, Tina had plugged her ears for the intirety of the concert. She then told me the ringing was cells dying in my ear and I would never be able to hear that exact tone again. I didn't believe her until AJ told me the same.

I really hope this ringing in my ear goes away soon...I know it doesn't mean someone is thinking about me 24/7.
