My wife has gotten better so I don't have to listen as much for her any more. So I went back to my ear buds to see if I could stand them. I've been listening quite a bit lately and my ears started to feel funny. I went to the doctor today and I found out I have a yeast infection in my ears from where they were sweating from the ear buds being in my ears for so long. So now I've got to use ear drops for a month and stop using the ear buds. Did you know you can get such a thing from using ear buds a lot? Horrible!
