A stupid bitch at one of my pickups dropped a pallet right in front of me near my head. The noise from it hitting the ground send a shock wave into my left ear. This happened a few hours ago but I have this pain and heavy feeling in the ear. Is this shit gonna be permanent? I don't wanna have to make a big deal about it but how careless can a person be. She's fucking Mexican btw with a heavy accent in case that matters to anyone
WHAT?!?!?!
Como se dice?
She's Mexican with a heavy accent and you can barely write in English...ironic, huh?
some people are careless as fuck in a dangerous work environment. I get really apprehensive when people are driving forklifts around me. Can you imagine the damage one of those things can do to the human body

Imagine the damage it could do to an ear though!

Put your ear in a bag of rice.

thank you for the support
Go to urgent care and tell them you experienced acoustic trauma. This happened to me but with a failed high pressure nitrogen hose 3 months ago. After I got to an audiologist, he said there is a 72 hour window to prescribe prednisone (steroid) to bring down the swelling and avoid permanent damage to the cochlea hairs inside your ear. This is especially effective if it's a one time noise as opposed to a cumulative effect.
I waited too late and now have damage that could have been likely cured.
Tinnitus is real.

Pics of Mexican pallet dropper?

First step is to report it. Should have done it immediately. Don't wait.

He really should not take this lightly. For me I thought it would be temporary and ignored it. The "fullness" he mentioned is 100% a symptom of accoustic trauma and should not be taken lightly. What makes it worse about only being in one ear, is that I hear the same sound two different ways. It makes me seasick.
I was out shooting a few weeks back and my earmuffs slipped down without me realizing and I pulled the trigger on my 10mm. My ear was ringing for a few days. I wore and ear plug for most of that time in the ear that was ringing, seemed to help.
how many fingers am i holding up?
Yer a fuckin cupcake! I hope that Senorita Biggerballsthanyou reads this thread or catches you whining about it and ear claps your faggot ass!
