The Kicker!

About 2 weeks back, on the day I started in my new office I had what is being described to me as an acoustic incident, Acoustic Shock as it is better known. I heard a very loud and painful high pitch sound come through the headset while I was using it and as a result, the medical assessment from an ear nose and throat specialist and an audiologist's, I am unable to continue in my current role at work.
Where does that leave me ther than in constant pain and a low pitched ringing in my ear? Well worthless to my current employer that what!
I will have a meeting with them tomorrow and see exactly where my cards lay, but tonight I will speak with a learned friend regarding work place injuries, work cover and what I am entitled to.
As it is I have an interview in the morning regarding a job I am sure will be fantastic and does not involve wearing a head set.
ObiWon, very dispondent...

I hate when I have ringing in my ears . . . I get that from too many concerts . . . sucks that it happened at work with an unpleasant sound . . . maybe it's a sign that it's time to move on. One can hope!
