Ears

The other morning I was laying in bed.

I was resting on my right side,

as I often do, and noticed I could

hear my wall clock ticking LOUDLY

from in the bathroom.

As I often do, when it is quiet, I 

began talking to myself.

And then I started counting along

with the ticking.

Which was driving me a little nuts.

So I rolled over.

And noticed I could no longer hear 

the ticking of the clock!

So I rolled over again.

Left ear - ticking.

Right ear - no ticking.

Left ear - ceiling fan squeaking.

Right ear - no squeaking.

But I was still able to "hear" out of

my right ear, so I decided it was a

sign I was getting old and got up.

Fast forward to yesterday.

I had a regular thyroid check-up at my

new ARPN's office.

I noticed my right ear felt "plugged".

So I mentioned it to her and when 

she checked my ears, my left was

bright and clean and my right ear

was "plugged to the max". 

Hahaha.

She also mentioned I have a TINY

ear canal. 

And then the "specialist" came in to

irrigate my right ear.

She also mentioned my TINY ear canal.

In fact, she had to switch out to the

"child size" thing-a-ma-bobby.

Which explains THIS!

You know those earbuds that come

with your new cell phone?

I've had several pairs of 

these "new" shaped ear buds

over the years.

And they NEVER fit.

I've switched out the little rubber

thingie to the bigger one and the smaller

one and I've watched YouTubes on how

to correctly fit them in your ears...

but no luck.

Kyle has the same problem.

Which explains why I bought 

SIX pairs of these hideous green

ear buds when I found them

on Amazon.

They have a nice, classic, flat style.

And it fits in my ear.

And I live in constant fear that 

they will quit making them.

Oh yeah,

and I can hear again.

I really need to get a quieter clock.
