Problem

I thought my earphones broke on 1 side, but I found it disconnected by the computer.  I also have a long chord going from the garage to another room but wouldn't think I need to nor should take the energy to check it, now.  So, that's the side where my ear hurts.  It feels kinda like tight in the middle, like I feel something there and like it is about to not just pop but explode.  I know I have more hard earplugs.  It should keep out more sound.  I figured the other ones "locked in moisture.." cleaned my ears more in the past few days.  However, I know that the rubbery earplugs make my ears hurt in this same way.  It's just that these 1s are more plugged.  Maybe, I need softer 1s.  The other ear is okay.  I guess, for now, I need to use the old kind.
