i’ve only had a few bell ringers from shooting up coke, the first time scared the fucking shit out of me lmao. i was listening to music and it sounded so fucking distorted and weird (i also had no idea what was happening, thought i was dying)

anyone who has had this experience - what do you usually hear? ringing? noise distortion? all of the above? just curious what it’s like for others. i have never actually had my ears ringing, or at least there’s so much going on i don’t notice. it’s always sounds distorted like a cartoon and/or it feels like i have ear muffs on lol. it makes me sad not to listen to music while i do it but fuck dude it’s creepy when it distorts, it can sound like a demon voice almost i’m like yeah i’d rather silence lol.

"Bell ringers" don't usually indicate a good sign, it's sort of like your body telling you don't do that again.
 
I loved the music distortion from a shot. If you shoot enough blow and seize up like i did you dont really hear anything really. Please dont do that though fuck.

I always put on industrial music like ministry or NIN when i was shooting blow
 
“Hair Cell Dysfunction: This transient ischemia (lack of blood flow) starves the delicate inner hair cells of oxygen. This metabolic stress can alter or block potassium (K⁺) channels inside the inner hair cells. When these ion channels malfunction, the hair cells depolarize erratically, firing spontaneous electrical signals down the vestibulocochlear nerve (\(8^{\text{th}}\) cranial nerve) that the brain interprets as a loud ringing, buzzing, or rushing sound (tinnitus)”
