Happens during fast speed travel, along with pressure changes (Going underground in a train). Usually, it gets mildly annoying due to the feeling of it, and that your ear stays "popped", and all sounds are drowned out. A lot like if you're underwater, you can still hear sounds, just not clearly.

Hmm. I'm able to unpop my ears at will. I heard some people chew gum or open and close their jaws. I just flex some muscles in my head somewhere and my ears unpop. If I do it under water, I can hear better ... but water gets in my ears and leaks out slowly when I get out ><

Yesterday, my house's electricity was turned off because my mom forgot to pay the bill(:P).
It was really quiet and I would've started hearing silence, but I live next to the damn freeway. >_<
It occasionally let up and I just hear some sort of buzz.

Interestingly, Armok's name actually originates from arm_ok, a variable in one of Toady's earlier games that kept track of how many of your arms weren't missing.

Invisibility is light orange, you know this.

Diamonds are combustable, because they are made of Carbon.

When you're invisible, you can't see anything because the light passes through your retinas without activating the photosensitive cells.

Wouldn't you just be blind then?

Stop with the meta-pySicks! I challenge your hypothesis with my rapier!

That's assuming a very specific form of invisibility. I was never specific!

Re: the train sound, I always associated it more with going underwater for some reason.  Also holding a shell to one's ear, which sounds exactly the same.

I always assumed everyone's able to do this, but I suppose it makes sense that they don't.  It is pretty funny watching people do their goldfish impressions coming down a mountain.
