square_root_of_pi | My spidey senses are tingling

This time last year, my left eardrum exploded.

I didn't notice until my roommate pointed out that I had blood flowing out of my left ear. A trip to the doctor's confirmed that I had a severe ear infection, resulting in an exploding ear drum.

This concerned my doctor, because I should have been very aware of:

The ear infection;

and the exploding ear drum.

Apparently, my pain threshold is a little high.

For the past five days my ears have been a little weird. At first I kept running to the left when I would get up and walk. Now I have a symptom I can only describe as:

"Tingly Spidey Senses";

or "Heroes Syndrome".

I am hearing TOO MUCH. The hum of the refrigerator sounds like a jet taking off. Jonathan exhaling in another room sounds like a floor to ceiling wall fan starting up.

When I watch television, there is an echo after every single sound that can only be compared to a high frequency whistle.

Conversations on the telephone involve the need to hold said phone about two feet away from my ear.

And the symptoms come and go. Saturday and Sunday they were bad. Monday not so bad. Tuesday, almost gone. Today, back in full force.

Conclusion?

1. I was bitten by a radioactive spider and am slowly developing spidey senses.

2. I am a Hero and have the power of super sonic hearing. At any moment Sylar is going to discover my whereabouts, kill me before I figure out what is going on, eat my brain and take my power.

3. I have an ear infection.

Personally, my vote is for number one. Sure number two sounds cool, up until the death part.
