When the sound of sneezing in the office comes and goes, I can’t help but sweat for myself and my classmates. In fact, what I worry about is not a cold or fever, but the fear that everyone’s ears will be sneezed.
Ears and sneezes don’t seem to be hit by eight poles. What can I worry about? This nasty thing should start from 4 years ago.
Just sneezing, but the ears are blamed
At that time, I was still an undergraduate studying in Guangzhou. Perhaps it was spoiled by the four seasons of summer in Lingnan. In the late winter, they only wear thin shirts, and even on the way back to Suzhou in the New Year. As a result of the plane, the snowflakes fluttered straight into my face, and I knew that I was “cool”. Sure enough, when I got home, I had a “sizzle flow” every day.
One day, I went to a formal banquet with my family for lunch. Suddenly, I felt that I was sneezing, and it was indecent in front of so many people, so I quickly picked up a tissue and squeezed my nose. It turned out that a stream of air did not flow out of the nasal cavity and rushed straight into the left ear. Just listening to the “buzz” in the ear, the eardrum was a little painful, but after a few seconds everything returned to normal.
Who knows, this is just the quietness before the storm, and the bane that tortured me for months has been laid.
One night after the “sneezing incident”, the left ear becomes “boring”, and there is a slight change in the sound of listening to yourself . At the time, I was really open-minded, blaming this anomaly on nasal congestion, and then reading at home as usual, I also called an old high school classmate at noon to watch steak on Qianqian Street.
When I arrived at the restaurant, I noticed something was wrong. The originally noisy restaurant sounded quiet to me. I tried to cover my right ear and listen to my classmates. Dude, I can’t hear you!
The whole world is like degenerating into the silent era of Chaplin. Before I could react, I suddenly felt that an “invisible hand” reached into my ear, as if I was pinching my ear with my fingernails and dragging outward suddenly.

In a split second, I was sore and sweaty that my collar was soaked. I quickly closed my eyes and took a deep breath, thinking carefully about the craniofacial anatomy that I had been studying for nothing last semester. At this time, a noun jumped into my mind: Acute otitis media . That’s right, the symptoms, causes, and location of the disease are all right. The disease can’t be delayed, so we have to rush to the hospital. Speaking later and faster, driven by severe pain, I called a taxi at lightning speed, and shouted at my buddy with meat in his mouth:
“Do n’t eat it, I ca n’t explain it, just come with me!”
Confirmed, otitis media
