I was a CNC machinist for about 15 years. Many in the machine shop biz will develope a "dead spot" in their hearing at the frequency of the sound of compressed air leaking from hoses, and/or the sound of air blasted from the hose to clean something off.
Takes years to develop, and probably affects many who don't know, after all.... How can you know what you don't hear anymore?
Huh?
Say again?

Ok, back to topic!
What I have had many times is a short (5- 15 second) high-pitched sound in one or both ears. These are often accompanied with what felt like a pressure change in affected ears.
Many people have said to be able to associate these occurences with subsequent earthquakes. So far, I have not. The last one I had was around mid-October, about 8 pm one night.
