full service is not yet restored, its a bit like a speaker with a loose connection... but the pain has gone, and i know that the full restoration will indeed be glorious...

| they are some truly impressive headphones... |
where did my hearing go... the short answer is i don't know, away somewhere...
but after the initial "oh my <insert deity here> i've gone deaf, i can never make music again" panic had subsided (days 2 and 3), i've been pretty stoic in dealing with it...
to the point where i only realised today, now that we are in may, that i was in-fact 'receiving in mono' for the majority of april... [and i actually managed to not get run over!!]
the most frustrating thing about it all, is that i have been on a bit of a writing tip of late... and at its worst i couldn't hear the guitar i was playing - i was effectively working off the vibrations... try to hum a melody over that and the guitar is gone... add a little bit of outside noise and everything suddenly gets really confusing...
but its going now...
as far as i understand it, i had some kind of bad-ass infection in my inner ear that produced a lot of gakk... which then bunged up the delicate inner workings off my ear (and tried to take over the rest of my head)...
two courses of progressively larger horse tablets later (the second batch we're bright red "how ill are you" type tablets)... and its only just starting to clear...
i was trying to sort out a click track for a new song the other day, and playing through an earphone into my left (deaf) ear i was hearing a most awesome metronome sound... when i swapped ears it was this hideous flabby distorted bass drum... so in that the deafness did a good thing...
but i'm not planning on using my ears reduced frequency response as a plot for a new extreme drum filter... nuh-uh, i'm just looking forward to being able to lay some stuff down...
as the song says...
"Can You Hear Me Now?"
("honestly?! uhm,... no.")
