Me. I am a 5’10, 135lb vocalist.

Last night, I had my hair done by my big, gregarious, Greek, demonstrative, hand gesturing hair dresser. He was saying good bye, and does his kisses with a vaccuum packed “spock” sound at the end. In addition he grabs the other side of your face to anchor your head.

Help. It was like the ‘Perfect Storm’ of REKS. He cupped my other ear to anchor my head tightly. Then, he did the major vaccuum kiss on my right ear. I suffered, and still do, a ringing…my own voice is to loud for my head…my voice sounds odd (muffled and tinny)…and I was standing in line at a cash register…and I could hear little electronic sounds in the register that no one else could hear.

How do I solve this?
