Delayed explosion sound — Psychological effect?
14 years ago
I can't get anyone to really take this seriously, but it's an issue that gets really painful after a while.
See, a few weeks back, when I woke up, I turned on my room's light… and the bulb exploded. As in, exploded: it was loud enough that my mother heard it through two thick walls, I found chunks of glass all over my room for days afterwards, and I would have been hurt if I hadn't been under my mosquito net at the time (we traced the cause to a power surge combined with a bulb defect).
I don't know if it was a psychological effect or what, but the sound of the bulb exploding replayed in my mind and, apparently, in my ears for up to two days after that incident. And then, every time I feel stressed and/or tired, it's only a matter of time before it happens again: pressure in my ears and the impression of hearing that explosion again and again.
Any idea?

i dunno how to conquer it... but ... yeah... >.> *yerfs*
As for recovery… the bulb incident happened three weeks ago. I figured that was more than long enough ^^;
I remember that very well, since my early age. We used to have power blackouts from 15:00 - 21:00, so there was no artificial lights, and I virtually felt myself preparing for sleep as the sky blackened. Twenty first century is tricking our senses too much lately. ;)
