Using Dual Filter Respirator, Felt Unfocused And Had Loud Ringing While Staining Fence. Tired
I was using dual filter respirator that I had used 5 weeks prior when staining about 70 feet of wood fence. It was wraped in a plastic grocery bag for 5 weeks. 4 days ago I was staining a piece of the same fence and using the respirator. Within acouple of minutes I was somewhat unfocused and had a louder ringing in my ears. I m also feeling more tired but with less ringing in the ears. Thank you , Jim

Hello and welcome to health care magic,
Any sudden ringing or tinnitus in the ear should be immediately investigated
-get an full audiometric assessment done
-get a CT of the temporal bones done
-get a CT brain done
-get a full blood profiling done
get these and get back to me or any ENT with the reports
Meanwhile you can try steam inhalation also
hope this helps
