I'd Whine

        Alas, whining* doesn't help.  This is an oucheriffic morning for me  Loud sounds -- like normal conversation or my fingers hammering the keyboard -- are unpleasant and the pressure/pain in my left ear is overwhelming, unavoidable and just, dammit, there.  But that does mean I hardly notice the tinnitus.

     See, there's always a bright side.

  1. Last few days, I've had a pain in my ears, too...but that's because my wife has been home this week, and doing this thing she calls "singing."

    Hope you feel better soon.

  2. I recommend large quantities of alcohol as a painkiller.

  3. If it's an ear infection, hit the doc-in-a-box for antibiotics and opiates.

    If a hangover, suffer like the rest of us or RX with the hair-of-the-dog that bit ya.

    Or take a nap, unless the cat purrs to loudly...

    (Naps are wonderfully inexpensive)
