Intentional Deafness

by KatiePaine, Jul 16, 2007 05:29PM
How can a person intentionally deafen themselves as quickly and as painlessly as possible?  Would supreglue in the middle ear cause deafness? or another substance injected into the middle ear with a syringe through the eardrum?
Can novicane injected into the middle ear cause temporary deafness?

That is one of the most stubid questions I have ever heard.

Vertually anything that you could do, would leave permanent damage. Good luck for your quest for free tuition.

There are no stupid questions, only stupid people who answere them with stupid answeres

Only a stupid possibly insane person would even consider intentionally deafening themselves with super glue.

The reality is, there is a way to temporarilly deafen one self, and people do it every day...  It is called Ear Plugs...   a rather neat invention, although very complex, I think you may be able to follow the instructions....  read them carefully, and try to find ear plugs that have "Pictures on the instruction manual."  

Hint:

The ear plugs go in your ears, and not any other orfices.

WHY would anyone want to deafen themselves like that?!  I'm born deaf myself, and I'm fine that way.  But why would I want to undergo destructive ear surgery, with scars, possible facial paralysis, massive infection, and wires coming out of my head (cochlear implant) just so I could hear?  Jeez, that's the equivalent of what you're suggesting about intentionally deafening a person!  You're born hearing, stay that way.  You're born deaf, stay that way.  You abruptly change that, you're gonna need more than Lady Luck to help you.

Before everyone starts attacking you (ooops too late), can I just simply ask why you want to know this?
