A while back I started sleeping with ear plugs to more easily escape the reality of life. Effective as it was, there have been some drawbacks and some triumphs.
On the negative side:
I can report that my ear holes have taken a more rounded shape. I think that is good except that maybe bugs can crawl in there since I noticed that the ear hair is not as plentiful as it used to be. I cannot have bugs getting in there. I was in Honduras a while back and there was a lady running around screaming that she had a bug in her ear. We passed her off for nuts and to our amazement after tackling her and trying to sedate her we actually found a really small moth in her ear. Did you ever notice that when something is found in your ear, it feels like a boulder and when you get it out you can barely see the speck. I guess this lady who was borderline nuts anyway thought there was a Pterodactyl in her head.
A positive result of the ear plugs has been the sleep. I get at least four hours uninterrupted sleep. There can be antelope evading lions on the stairs and I just do not hear them. Of course, the meth heads next door could set up a lab in the kitchen and I would not hear them. My wife talks to me with these plugs in and she does not know I cannot hear every word (as apposed to not listening) so I say what a few times, nod my head and go to sleep.
I seem to be missing one ear plug. One morning I got up and had to do some digging in my ear for the foam thing. It was past that bone perturbation and really in there. I could hear myself scratchin my head. Anyway, I got it out with a pair of dagger tipped tweezers. Still, I am missing one. These squishy foam things are expensive. I think four dollars will get you five sets. Now I know that any nitwit industrial fabricator could make a thousand of them for ten cents but how will they get rich selling them at that fair price. I also seem to think that the pressure, small but continuous is causing some kind of jaw malfunction. I get this clicking sound some mornings emanating from my jaw.
As a whole, I think the ear plugs are of medium success. I still wonder about the ear hair.
