Momentary hearing loss?

[TheProject]

Okay, here's a strange question for eveyone:

Do you ever temporarily lose part of your hearing when you're training?

I notice it frequently on back day. I'll get done with a set, and I'll lose partial hearing for a minute or so in either or both ears.

Asked my trainer about it, and she thought I was kidding or crazy. She asked her trainer, and he thought I was just weird.

Am I alone on this one?

I got into a fight once where I lost all hearing because of the intensity and focus that i was going through. Maybe the same thing happened to u....was for about 30 seconds only.

He's not kidding, people. Toward the end of a workout, he's like an OLD man..."HEH?!?" "WHAT?!?!" "YOU LISHEN HERE SHUNNY..."

I would hazard a guess that it may have something to do with pressure into the inner ear thru the tubes in the back of your throat...
Do you tend to hold your breath and then push air out of your mouth when exerting?
Kinda like the old cartoons where the guys face turns red from being angry?
That pressure is going into your inner ear thru tubes in the back of your throat.

Y'know, I don't think I'm holding my breath at all, but I could be. I'll have to pay attention to that and see. It never lasts long, maybe 30 secs to a minute.

And I'm not quite like an old man...

Thanks for the input!

Sometimes he DOES hold his breath when he's exerting..that's why I'm always yelling, "Breathe!"

That happens to me after an intense squat session and even back session(sometimes) That along with the white spots almost like your about to pass out but you don't, I think it's from straining and a combination of the high blood pressure at the moment...

You know, I wondered about the bp thing! I've seen the spots too. Since I already have high bp, I wondered if that might be related.

Dude, i get this same bullshit all the time. i dont know what it is. Usually when i stand up from anything, its fucking strange. At first it scared the hell out of me, but now i'm used to it. If it starts happening i usually just walk to get a drink or something and chill. But ya if anyone knows what the hell this is from post.

Hey Distortion, glad I'm not the only one. It doesn't really freak me out, but I definitely notice it. I just breathe, cool down, take a drink, and it's all good.

I did back today, and didn't notice it. Usually happens to me on back day.
