Yeah, and the Moonwalk is so now David! 
There was a hint of spoof in my post, but you knew that didn't you.....didn't you?!

Of course, being born in '71 I can still remember buying my first Walkman from Smiths, sure it was about £40-45.Comment

I was born in '72
My Dad was working out in the far east when the Walkman's first came out and brought back one for each of my brothers:
Because I was a bit younger, I just ended up with a pair of radio headphones!
But eventually inherit my brothers Walkmans, which was nice!

I am currently on the door of the y6 leavers disco. I can't let anyone in unless they have a tin of food for the old folk. My life is rock n roll to the max.Comment

There's old folk at your school leaving disco? Well at least you're keeping them fed.Comment

The old folk are the teachers

Another horror story about physical movement. Seriously, you guys need to pack it in.
the most exercise you should have is hammering the fire button on 1942 Joint Strike.Comment

For the last couple of weeks I've been deaf in one ear due to a build up of gunk. Never had a problem with my ears before so I had no idea what was wrong, and was properly ****ting myself that there was something seriously wrong. Hypochondriac that I am, my imagination ran wild. I convinced myself it was either a brain tumour or brain sucking slugs from Mars had taken over.
My GP instructed me to put drops of olive oil in my ear for a week, and then come back and have it syringed. Finally got it sorted yesterday and the relief was unbelievable. Even 24 hrs later, I'm still on a massive high. Bird song in the morning has never sounded so sweet. Things like that I've always taken for granted, but not anymore. I've massive empathy for deaf people now, so at least the experience has dome me some good.Comment

YUP! Happened to me in April/May I think and it was killer. Must have been getting slowly worse and worse and eventually got it sorted in the same way you did.
As soon as it was done, the whole world of sound just "opened up" again and I could hear the ambience again. It was beautiful!
Got in my car, and thought the engine was ****ed as it was so much louder than I had heard for the last month, was so funny, then quickly realised it was ok.Comment

How hard was it to hold a conversation? It was difficult enough trying to understand other people, but I found instead of raising my voice I would talk in a whisper. I think it was because I could hear my own voice in my head, so I just assumed other people could hear me. So frustrating.
It was like slowly going insane. I'd always thought of deafness as being about complete silence, but for me at least, it was never ending noises echoing in my head. I'd be in a conversation with someone and I'd start hearing these strange whistling sounds. Eventually I just gave up trying, and withdrew into myself. The worst was lying in bed at night, though. No sound except what I could hear in my head. It was two weeks of sheer hell. So glad things are back to normal now.
I guess you can adapt to most things eventually. Say a loss of a limb. I remember seeing a three legged dog once and it looked a happy little thing. But imagine losing your senses like sight, hearing and speech. I really don't think I could cope with that. The feeling of isolation must be intense.Comment

Yeah it was the same for me, sleeping at night was hell as you just heard that weird echo-y ringing noise as if you've just walked out a really loud gig, etc. And talking was awful, I would always position myself so my good ear was facing the person I was talking to instead! And started to focus on people's lip instead while talking to try and understand what they were saying easier.
Thinking back, it was really annoying and can't imagine being like that all the time.Comment

I briefly had something like this.. had to get my ear syringed and plonk in some ear drops. Needless to say, it was a great feeling when it was all over!Comment
