Hearing loss during workout
by Tanek, Apr 03, 2008 02:21PM
The other day while I was working out, I stopped to take a breather after my first set and when I did my hearing started to diminish. It was not accompanied by a ringing sound or anything like that, it simply became more and more muffled over the course of about 15 to 30 seconds until I could barely hear anything at all. My body felt slightly numb but not overly so while this was happening. The whole event lasted about 5 minutes and then my hearing returned. Suffice it to say I suspended my workout routine, I spent the rest of the day feeling somewhat groggy and I had a mild headache.
Does anyone have any idea what this might have been? It’s the first time anything like this has happened and I’m reluctant to resume my workout routine until I’m sure everything is ok.

My 17 year old son had episodes where he lost hearing during weightlifting, and then it got worse - he began fainting.
After exhaustive tests, the docs said if you start to lose hearing, STOP. You're doing WAY TOO MUCH.
Interesting, this stuff happened to my son when he was on his back lifting weights. You don't say that, but it sounds like that's what you're doing too? If so, you're doing too much.
I was a smoker for 7 years up until 5 months ago, which caused me mild heart palpitations, so at first I suspected some sort of heart issue when my hearing went, but I recall checking my pulse when I lost my hearing and it was strong, regular and steady.
Did your son’s episodes ever stop?
I don't know how to explain it physically, but there's something about being in one place lifting weights that caused this in both you and my son.
