There's a certain irony in music being my passion and wanting to make music. I suspect something's . . . I wouldn't say wrong . . . More like . . . odd about my hearing

Hello, it's been a while (and alas, it may continue to be)! Sorry I haven't been active on LJ in the past months; been dealing with the matter of figuring myself out lol. I'm glad my post had a positive impact on someone else and, no, I don't find your comment creeper-ly at all. :p Your situation reminds me of a similar one I faced as a college student, reading dry articles for a research paper until my research led me to an online Victorian journal/diary of this man who was a sex addict-fascinating, as you can imagine.
I love how people can surprise you. I wouldn't have guessed you have a musical background. That just cements our friendship. :D I also wouldn't have guessed that what comes naturally to me is apparently a skill people train themselves to learn. :O I'm relieved my discussion on countermelodies makes sense to another person. I would not have been surprised to get a "That's so weird" lol.
I'm impressed you got the gist of my situation and my concern about how to respond to it. I indeed am wary of the event where I know the condition isn't acting up when I go and thus won't be detected. Lately I've been trying to trace what causes the aches, and I think I may be on to something, so maybe I won't be met with a "You're fine" when I do get checked out. I appreciate the advice and the concern btw, thanks! I'll keep it in mind.
The other key thing I neglected to mention in my post is the ringing in my ears that accompanies the aches. It comes and goes, though I now wonder if it actually does go, or whether background noises (like the deafening humming of ventilation noises) simply mask it. That's the thing about being out in the world: there's never a moment where a person can get complete silence, and that's the moment when I do notice the ringing strongly, such as in my room.
Work's keeping me from doing anything for myself lately, but I have a week off or so coming up at the end of the month, when I plan to do something about this. Will def' keep you posted!
