I remember when you had to have a stylus to enter text on your PDA. Then when finger friendly touchscreens took over, styluses became an accessory that most people no longer needed or even wanted.

Over the last several years, I’ve noticed a problem developing in my left ear when exposed to continuous loud sounds (it sounds like there is cotton constantly moving around in my ear).
