Then, a few months ago, I picked up up a 2003 DL1000, got it cheap cause it had 50k miles on it, but it ran great, a tad rattley and clanky, but tolerable. Then my left ear began to bother me, I was always asking people to speak up, had to turn the TV up loud, music louder, wife complaining, pain in the ear getting worse. Went to the doc, "You have a lot of wax in your ear, we'll flush it out." They stick a supersoaker into my ear, pump large quantities of warm water in there, and out comes this clump of nasty-looking gunk, the wax plug. Felt better. I get on my DL to ride home, and holy cow, this bike rattles and hums like a cement mixer! I think I'll go back to using foam plugs!

So you were wearing plugs!
