[TheForge] Re: Tinnitus

[LrdThorolf at aol.com]

Ok guys I got this from my  V.A. Dr. He said that the ringing in  my ears is 
from  old abuse of my ears from  load noises. I.E. tank  engines, explosives 
and rifle gunfire. I  have the ringing in my ears. Load  enough to drown out 
crickets, cicadas and rattlesnake buzz. Yes, I   have had mine for 20 years but 
never paid that much attention to it.  Also  does not help  it being a 
blacksmith. The pounding of power hammers,  grinders and most of all  the pounding on 
steel  on  anvils. If  you have an anvil that rings it also effects the ears 
too.  I never  heard any rattle snake buzz the whole time I was there and I 
could see the tails  moving.  I  looked for them when I was working in the  
desert.  Only  killed one and he struck at me in a bee yard while  I was taking 
care of my bees and pissed me off.  I  beat him to  death with a long stick 
 
 
 So guess what all. Yes you  can  and probably  will  get tinnitus being a 
blacksmith.

But I love the heat. Just want it from the Forge. 4 seasons for me  now.

If a cat has thumbs then could it hold a hammer?
