a nu nu cheese squish is just an orange earplug!

Yes, just don't play the music too loud.

An earplug is a device that is meant to be inserted in the ear canal to protect the wearer's hearing from loud noises.

what are the side effect of using earplug contineously 2 hours?

ear phones may not be in all the way. you may half to push pretty hard to got the head phones in completely. every little mm counts

earplugs hurt your eardrums more because the earplugs fit right in your ear and it`s just hurting ur eardrum but headphones cover your whole ear and it is not right in your ear whole!! lol ....

earplugs hurt your eardrums more because the earplugs fit right in your ear and it`s just hurting ur eardrum but headphones cover your whole ear and it is not right in your ear whole!! lol ....

That's not necessary to use software. Just use earplug and set the volume to the appropriate level so that you feel it's large. This way you won't ear what is played in the recorded track.

The most common cause of this is the use of Q-tips in the ear canal (and other objects such as bobby pins and rolled napkin corners), which pushes the wax deeper into the ear canal. Hearing aid and earplug users are also more prone to earwax blockage.

Take a regular foam earplug, or anything resembling, and a white copper wire. Stick one end of the wire in the foam plug, then wrap the middle part of the wire (a few inches down) around a pencil to make it look like a phone cord.

I don't know exactly since i haven't read the book, but i think that it's some sort of communication device that allows Faber and Montag to communicate with each other secretly. The item was known as "the bullet"

This is a big one.

Certain people claim to be able to connect with afterlife.

I think this has become popular because so many people want to believe.

People that want to believe becomes easy targets for scams.

There are no scientific proof of any living person actually being able to connect with the afterlife and transmit/convey messages from the dead.

A lot of people have been convinced by some people, but whenever the people have been offered to do the same under controlled scientific watch, they either refuse or the "spirits are not with them" when they try to perform.

Very often they perform a scam that is quite elaborate. They can ask about certain things and depending on the answer they tell you something else. Often they wear a microphone and earplug getting messages from a person on a computer with your entire familys life and relations on it. Sometimes they do not even wear a mic and earplug but have a coworker in the scam wearing one, and he/she can transmit messages by secret moves. IE turning his head to the right mean boy, then blinking eyes a number of times tells age. Even moves for the entire alphabet can be easily made up so that it is hardly visible for any co-attenders.

I myself will eventually get in touch with after life, but I hope that is a long long time from now. I do not intend to voluntarily contact it :-)

Regards.

Primarily we listened to the radio, but we only had AM, unless you were lucky enough to have an FM set, and could pick up the new underground stations.

Most of us had these little portable AM transistor radios that you could get a single earplug for to listen to without bothering anybody else.

We also had phonograph, or record players that we played 33 1/3 LP albums and 45 RPM records (singles) on. Some of us had these portable record players in our bedrooms. The sound wasn't the best, but at least we could listen to "our music" without having to argue with our parents, except when we played it a little too loud.

Then there was television. Where we got to see Elvis, The Beatles and The Supremes on the Ed Sullivan show. Then there was American Bandstand with Dick Clark, and Hootenanny, Hullabaloo and Shindig.

Um... this answer is (Most likely) a lie, so if you REALLY need to know, then I'm not the person to ask. Here:

Take an earplug and put it in the ear the bug is NOT in. You do NOT want to push the bug farther in. Take a pair of fine tweezers and begin to reach inside the ear the bug IS in. Careful not to touch the ear. If the bug crawled in backwards, and his head is in the front, reach the tweezers in and try to either, A, squish his head into gruesome, MUSHY, PUTRID ICKY PIECES OF...You get the idea. OR B, pull his head straight off! That's all there is to it! You're done! Well, almost. Now, If the bug has crawled in frontwards, and you're looking at his big, buggy bottom, then do the above steps to his fat, deserving behind! Doesn't that just make you sssSSSOOOO happy?!? Now, be warned (this is why we put the earplug in), that bug will be SCREAMING, YELLING, SCREECHING in pain, so the patient will have sore ears afterward. Now that the IMPORTANT "BUSINESS" has been done, carefully pull the fat, ugly, revolting little tick out of the poor boys ear, and CHUCK IT OUT THE WINDOW!!! HAHAHA!! TAKE. THAT. YOU. IDIOTIC. BUG!!!!!!!!!!!

Um, I'm done now. Sorry, I HATE bugs.

Swimmers ear, also known as 'ortitis externa', is mainly to be caused by swimming. A swimmer who is mainly in chlorinated water everyday is most likely to be affected by this, unless clearing themselves everyday. Or it could even be a non-swimmer who has very frequent showers in fairly humid areas. The cause of the infection is water being trapped in the ear canal and it not being tipped of rubbed out of the ear. Eventually so much water has been kept in the ear, it will turn into fungal looking infection down in the ear canal, which is most likely to cause an itch, pain, ear discharge, temporary hearing loss, or even a pain in the throat. If needed, see your local doctor or GP to seek medical advice or even recieve a prescription for treatment - the treatment people are most likely to use would be antibiotics or a specially made antibiotic ear spray which is to be used up to 3 times per day. If the earspray has been used before sleeping, it's recommended to keep an earplug in whilst sleeping. Also being in showers or pools, to buy swimmers' earplugs.
