Send calming thoughts my way for my first Audition on Wednesday! - Page 13

CommanderROR · 07-06-2007, 08:16 AM

Well, with all the good look that I've had this year something bad was bound to happen...but I hadn't expected it to be this bad...

Yesterday night I had a "Hörsturz", the english word is apparently "acute hearing loss" on my left ear. I can still hear, but it's slightly muted on the left ear and every sound produces a terrible noise in my left ear...sounds a lot like a microphone getting too close to a speaker or simply being used at too loud volume and "overreacting"...

I started treatment today (went to the doctor first thing in the morning) and it should be ok in a few days, but nobody can really say.
I've cancelled everything for now and will try to rest and recover as quikcly as possible. The Doctor said it was probably due to stress...which sounds plausible after what I've been through and am still doing (like ausiditons, exam and finding/furnishing and apartment...moving...)

I'll stop typing now because every keystroke sends my ear ringing...i'll keep you updated...

Ouch. Sorry to hear that, CommanderROR. I have a low level ear-ringing all the time (tinnitus is the name of mine), and it occasionally flairs up so that I can't hear much around it. If what you've got is like that, it's certainly not a fun thing -- especially if you're not used to it.

I hope they get it cleared up for you quickly.

Bob Russell · 07-06-2007, 09:20 AM

Wow. I'm so sorry to hear that. Especially since it's one of your "tools of the trade."

But I'm also really glad to hear that it may just be stress related. I hope that the painful noises die down, and that you are over this issue soon. Hang in there.

nekokami · 07-06-2007, 10:52 AM

Oh no! I hope if you can just relax a bit that will help. At least you don't have an infection -- I had one recently that caused some hearing problems and took three rounds of antibiotics to clear up completely.

But if the doctor hasn't found an infection, that's good. Spend a little bit of time off with your girlfriend, or take a few lazy summer afternoon naps.

... read a bit.

yvanleterrible · 07-06-2007, 11:00 AM

Well! A sign of infection would have been something you can fight but hearing loss? That's awfull!

I've been fighting loud noise sources all my life. First with the loud playing in rock groups and next with the woodworking machines. I'm not doing badly.

Your case is rather strange, does it mean your new violin is too loud? The left ear is right next to it.

Take care!

CommanderROR · 07-06-2007, 12:10 PM

@yvan

actually my new violin is a lot more comfortable near the ear...but the problem is not (only) sound related but also stress related...and of that I simply had too much.
I'll try to relax although there are still many things on my mind...and one of the is that the **** stupid doctor gave me infusion therapy (which is normal procedure) but instead of giving me the normal stuff that is supposed to improve blood-circulation they only gave me some stuff that is actually quite dangerous and is usually only used as an add-on for the normal therapy...

well...never mind that...I'll sort it out somehow but I'm still rather annoyed at them...

NatCh · 07-06-2007, 12:54 PM

Great treatment for a suspected stress-related symptom, that: aggravation.

CommanderROR · 10-28-2007, 06:28 AM

Hi again everybody!

Yesterday the new "Theaterzeitung" came out, and they have a few lines and a picture about the new members of the Orchestra.
Since some of you requested something like this back in the days when this thread was rather active...here you go...^^
The picture is rather bad quality since it was scanned from a newspaper.

HarryT · 10-28-2007, 08:30 AM

That's excellent! You're the 2nd from the left, yes?

CommanderROR · 10-28-2007, 09:38 AM

Yep...that's me...^^

I merge quite well with the background...

Bob Russell · 10-28-2007, 09:42 AM

Very cool. But here's the big question... which violin are you holding?!!!

CommanderROR · 10-29-2007, 04:21 PM

my new one of course...it's the only one I ever play these days...^^

ottoxotto1960 · 11-21-2007, 12:33 PM

I'm Lorenzo Frignani, italian maker: Do you remember our meeting at Frankfurt Messe?
I have just found your message in internet forum.
I write because I haven't received your message after the Messe...!!
I'm sorry for that and I'd be glad to hear from you again if you are still interested in my violins.
My e-mail is: info@frignanilorenzo.com
In any case
my best wishes.
Lorenzo

CommanderROR · 11-21-2007, 04:51 PM

Hello Mr. Frignani!

I actually sent a meail your way directly after the Frakfurt Messe, but never got a reply. Maybe the message got lost...

Thank you for contacting me here, however, I have found a violin (by German Maker Oliver Radke) and a Job (Opera Erfurt) and am not looking for a new violin at the moment.
If I ever go on the hnt for a new instrument again or hear that somebody is searching, then I'll certainly tell them to try your instruments!
