Woman’s Ear Bleeds After a Baby’s Scream

By John On July 21, 2010 Under hearing loss

You have heard a dozen funny air travel experiences but this one is just crazy.

When Jean Barnard got on the Qantas plane, never did she fathom she’d be getting off with a bleeding ear and a permanent hearing loss. And the one to blame, as she claimed, was a toddler! Yes, according to her, a baby screamed in her ear while she was looking for her seat. She was in severe pain that she had to leave and be escorted to Alice Springs hospital.

She filed a case against Qantas airline for what she believed to be a seeming negligence of the flight crew in keeping passengers, like her, safe. However, Qantas’ legal counsel denied Barnard’s allegation of negligence, reasoning that the act of the toddler screaming in the complainant’s ear occurred as a random incident. There was no possibility to determine when toddlers would scream so for people to be forewarned.

However, the 67-year-old woman claims she sustained permanent deafness after the incident. But reports say she has been on hearing aids before it happened. It might have been that the hearing aid amplified the toddler’s scream to unbearable intensities. You know some hearing aids are designed to amplify specific frequencies. Nevertheless, her indignation cannot be abated.

We normally don’t get this kind of freak news, of someone going deaf because somebody screamed in their ear. But audiologists do prohibit people screaming in others’ ears because the loud sound could damage the eardrums.

I wanted to have my hair purple, but not too vibrant. I’ve read that people got funky colors, like bright pink, but I didn’t. I didn’t bother to bleach my hair, so I now have a nice, rich deep purple underlayer. It was messy, but came out of everything except my skin easily. http://splathairdye.com That needed several toothpaste scrubs, and I do recommend toothpaste. It’s cheap and easy in a pinch. It did take a bit to get it to stop running off in the shower, but I find that this is way better than Manic Panic.
