I was amazed that nature inspires the most revolutionary creations. Its skin pattern reminds me of a binary code.”

I've been listening to subliminals for 3 days. 5 videos before sleeping and after waking up. My left ear started hurting relatively bad. Is there an explanation or should I go to a doctor?
