Back in Melbourne, with the bike
Oct. 23rd, 2007 10:37 pmI'm safely back in Melbourne with the motorcycle. Hurrah.
Well, I say safely, but actually I think I've done some damage to myself..
My neck and shoulders are feeling completely screwed up at the moment. Massively screwed up.
AND I think I've burst an eardrum!
I wanted to listen to some music, because eight hours of loud wind noise isn't very interesting.. but to get the headphones to stay in, I really jammed them hard into my ears.. and then kept turning the volume up until it was at about triple my normal listening volume.
I realised this was a bad idea after about an hour, maybe less? However the damage appears to be done - my left ear is now almost totally deaf, but it makes a noise like someone crunching up paper if I prod around the outside of my ear. Erm. Oops?
