Can Loud Noises Still Make Your Ears Hurt If You Can't Hear Them?

Hello, everyone!

I am hearing, and I have been wondering: Hearing people's ears hurt when a noise is very loud. Does that also happen to the (profoundly) deaf? I would guess that it depends... But can a deaf/Deaf person please let me know?

Thanks!

Yes. I can't hear fireworks at all on my right side - but it's painful when they go off due to the concussion.
 
Thank you! :ty:

I'd guess that it might not hurt if someone has conductive deafness, right? If the middle ear bones don't work, or if the sound passage itself is blocked, or something?

Luckily, I've no eardrums then....loud roaring sounds, such as a fast moving train, stays inside my head for hours...but it's not painful.

I'm curious if you've ever tried having your eardrums replaced? Maybe you've mentioned this in the past - with the ear surgeries you've had a few years ago.

Replacing ear drums?...Never heard of it. To begin with, I had a rare ear(s) disease. Ear infections all the time. the disease destroyed the ear drums (per the doctor)...Surgery after surgery and the infections always came back. It's been a little over a year now, and the last surgery has been successful so far! *knocking on wood* Nothing can be done, as the nerves were destroyed along with the ear drums. The ENT was hoping to get me a CI on the left ear, but after the last surgery, he had to close off the ear completely...Nothing else can be done. Been totally deaf for over 50 years anyway...it's a way of my Life.

Yep, my daughter had one of hers replaced twice. The first time using a piece of skin from behind her ear. It disintegrated, so he then used a piece of the tragus, which is thicker.

Being thicker, it has caused some conductive hear loss. She was my ear infection kid and does now wear hearing aids.
 
the asnwer is yes,
sound are waves vibrations of energy along a spectrum most of which we do not perceive a sound but can still affect you.

as well as the waves hearies perceive and we do not.
they still will interact with you and cause issues depending on the individual

The very 1st surgery I had (in the 60's)...the ENT did take a skin graft off my side to cover up what ear drum(s) were left....Seems both ear drums were ruptured. Even as a small child, I had ear infections over and over, and remember my grandmother pouring Sweet Oil into my ears for the pain....Back in those days, there were no doctors, as we lived in the backwoods...*sigh*
The 1st surgery I had, the doctor also damaged the nerves. One side of my face was supposed to have "drooped", but luckily it did not. That ENT was not a specialist and I was told he practically "butchered me"...So...
Thru the years, I have seen many, many specialists and there is absolutely nothing that can be done for my hearing...ear drums are now gone and so are the nerves...dead...Hearing Aids?...none worked, even on the bone behind the ear.
Glad to know ur daughter can hear with her aids...If this would have happened to me in the 90's, feel sure the outcome would have been much brighter.

At loud enough volumes it would still hurt with conductive loss. Barring an ear canal which congenitally didn't form at all.
I have mixed loss on my right - mostly nerve, but some conductive. I can't hear anything at 120db, but it is painful.
 
Funny thing....as you age, people usually stop asking "How did you lose your hearing?"...They assume old age is related to hearing loss....but gear up!...people still lean over and shout in ur ear or say "can you read lips"?...yesterday, I met a 92 yr. old sweet lady...in excellent health (she bragged about it)...and continued to lean over and holler in my ear....LOL

You got that right. I miss my younger days when I could strike fear and intimidation into them, now they just look at me like a cuddly old geezer.....its like I lost a super power *sighs*
 
I'm totally deaf and shoot handguns once or twice a week.:rifle: I wear both ear plugs and the best ear muffs. It's not only a regulation on most ranges for all shooters, but my eardrums hurt if they're not protected.

So another "Yes!" (nods fist) for an answer.
