Why might my eardrums hurt?
The inner ear, or Eustachian tube, can become clogged with mucus from sinus cavities, caused by excess mucus from allergies and colds and sinusitis. Swelling in the nasal, head and ear sinuses is common. If swelling occurs in the ear sinuses or Eustachian tube, mucus or even pus can become trapped there, causing a feeling of pain, swollen, clogged, plugged, sore, congested ears, poor hearing, or even a feeling of water sloshing deep in the head. This solution can be done at home, is not expensive, and relieves Eustachian tube swelling so that the mucus can drain naturally. == ==

What part do the bone in the middle ear play in the process of us hearing sound?
The "bone you are referring to is your hearing chain, so yes it affects your hearing. I know this because my daughter growing up had what is referred to as a cholesteatoma. A mass of skin that takes up residence behind the eardrum, that although is not cancerous acts like it is. It crawls and weaves around the hearing bone, It destroyed her ear drum and her hearing chain (bone). She now has a plastic (artificial) hearing bone but still only has 10% of her hearing in that ear. the only way to explain it is this... If you have a cup of water with a straw in it 6 inches from your mouth can the liquid get to your mouth? Same thing, the noise goes into your ear but stops where the straw ends thus filtering the sound. Any child that has more ear infections than what seams normal should be checked really well for this. My daughter had her first set of tubes when she was 14 months old. The cholesteatoma was missed by an ent when she was 10 even though here ear was bleading and oozing green stuff.

Pink noise it's self will not cause damage to your hearing. However it is how loud and how long you play the sound for. If you listen to pink noise with a volume level under 85db SPL(Sound Pressure Level) is quite unlikely to cause any damage to your hearing, even if listening to it continuously =)
What is the lowest level of noise that can cause hearing loss?
The lowest level of noise that can cause hearing loss is 85 dB. Prolonged exposure to noise at this level or higher can cause permanent damage to the tiny hair cells in the inner ear which are responsible for transmitting sound signals to the brain. In general any noise louder than 80 dB can cause hearing loss so it is important to protect your hearing when exposed to these levels of sound. Noise levels below 70 dB do not typically cause hearing loss. Noise levels between 70 and 85 dB can cause hearing loss with extended unprotected exposure. Noise levels above 85 dB can cause hearing loss with shorter unprotected exposure.It is important to be aware of the noise levels around you and to take steps to protect your hearing. If a noise is too loud wear hearing protection such as ear plugs or ear muffs. Additionally it is important to take regular breaks away from noise to allow your ears to rest.

Can people over 40 hear dog whistles?
As a person grows older, their hearing usually becomes worse, and they have a more difficult time hearing high frequency sounds. There is no relation to a specific age as this inability to hear high frequency sounds is affected by the kinds of sounds that a person's hearing is subjected to. Hearing damage is greatly increased by loud noises and loud music. Hearing damage can also cause a person to hear noise that is not actually there. This type of damage is called 'tinnitus'. It can sound like a ringing in the ears that never goes away, and is most noticeable when in a quiet room. Hearing protection should be used to prevent hearing loss and tinnitus from loud noises and loud music. There are several ways to reduce hearing damage. -Reduce the level of the noise -Reduce the amount of time that you are exposed to the noise -Use hearing protection to reduce the loudness of the noise -Increase your distance away from the noise
