Bad Hearing after lifting heavy weights?

[Famosa]

Whenever i work out and lift heavy weights (usually doing benchpress)
my hearing tends to worsen. does anyone else have this problem? It's pissing me off, whenever i work out i cant hear for **** afterwards.

hmm, my ears ring a bit after i lift heavy like deadlift and squats. never had just hearing loss tho.

sometimes my ears feel like i'm on a plane. ie. some type of pressure loss or whatever it is. My eyes usually get a bit skewed after heavy lifts. really annoying sometimes too :\

Duh! thats why Lou Ferigno is deaf in one ear. Everyone knows lifting weights makes you lose your hearing.

Really?

dude, did you just say lifting makes your hearing worst?! omg, I would research things before saying them. My mother is a doctor, I even asked about 10 bodybuilders at my gym. That does not happen!.

You must of had doubts to ask 10 bodybuilders & your mother who is a doctor,
I went to the doctor as well and he said you can even pop your ear drum from so much pressure going to your head (power lifting)

mm this is the first time i have ever heard of this....id like to know the truth...

[Xande-Lupo]

well yes your also right, but you need to add an extreme amount for and focus tu much in order to happen....even though it is not 100% sure .

probably cause your not breathing correctly on workouts?

[Famosa]

Whats correct way to breathe while lifting?

I did research on that and it said hes 80% deaf because of a ear infection as a child

Hold your nose closed, close your mouth and try to blow.










Haha you did it didn't you...fool. Anyway, try breathing. It helps.

damn you metal! damn you to hell!

because of that stunt im now blind and crippled! my penis grew tho! w00t

[MrBRoc]

i tend to get a head rush after doing some taxing things ie squats, heavy leg presses i will get off my press and stand and im just like whoaa and after a few seconds im good lol it does suck tho

[Great wanderer]

Sometimes feel dizzy after very high rep squat and ear rings too. Also not comfortable after heaviest partial squat. And sometimes in DL.

I bet it's the internal pressure. Nothing wrong with it, unless it lasts long. Relax, and breath.

I had the same problem in one ear. Could be a sinus infection or allergies. Chronic sinus infections can cause this without any other symptoms--when you lay down to bench--trapped fluid tries to disperse and pressure of lifting pushes fluid out. Problem could be worse now because it is allergy season. Try taking a decongestant before working out see if that helps or go to a doctor.

HAHA that hilarious. I dont even know why thats so funny but you got a laugh outta me. Reps for you!

[tonycalamita]

i use to get pressure build up on my leg work outs resulting in completely blocked ears for like 20-30 minutes afterwards! i started focusing more on proper breathing technique and it sorted the problem. when i lift i breathe in through my nose on the part where i am resisting the weight (eccentric) and breath out through my mouth when im actually pushing the resistance (concentric) hope that helps dude.

e.g. on bench press breathe out when pushing the bar up and breathe in when lowering the weight.

Boom. I'm going with this one as well. I need to rediscover the research, but i recall a connection between strain on the ear canal and holding your breathe during a period of exertion. We talked about it in physics last year, but I wonder if maybe you hold your breath when you lift heavy weights? Or just dont breathe on the negative and positive portions of the excercise? I dont really know many people that do really...
