It was nothing but a warm Tuesday. I planned to hop on Minecraft and start a new world. Little did I know, problems were forming.
As soon as I finished school, I went home and accelerated straight to my room. Putting my headphones on, I successfully booted up Minecraft. Creating a new world, I thought it would be funny to make up my own seed. I simply typed "3oo201ut78ht33e", laughing at the awful gibberish I have invented. Soon after, I popped into the world, and started to survive. 30 minutes later, I have crafted an iron sword, iron boots, iron pickaxe, and iron chestplate. Night came, and I went to bed (in the game). Came morning, I decided to go hunting for some diamonds.
I found a sweet cave to dig into, and managed to get lost. Fortunately, I have found 4 blocks of diamond ores, waiting to be mined. Jump-running over to the blue ores, I unleashed my iron pick and demolished the blocks. But then I lost half of a heart, and got knocked back 1 and a half blocks. I turned around and I saw a massive hole [That was not there before] on the ground. Huh, I thought, a creeper must have blown it up, but why didn't I hear the ignition OR the explosion? I figured it was just some glitch and gathered my belongings.
I mined up to surface, where I saw a sheep, by itself. I decided to kill it, since I was low on food. One quick swipe from my sword and the sheep is gone. However, I didn't hear the sheep making sounds when it got hurt. Now that I have thought about it, I have not heard my footsteps ever since I went into that cave! I checked my headphones volume, to see if I may have accidentally turned it off, but it was 49%. I told myself it was just a bug, and that I should not worry about it.
The moon awakened, and that was my cue to head home and go to sleep (again, in game).
The next morning, I checked to see if I heard anything, but it was just silence. Then I wondered if I was becoming deaf in REAL LIFE, but that theory ended when i tapped my foot on my floor and heard the sound. So it's just Minecraft with this problem. I proceeded to find some more animals as I was running out of food, and was becoming hungry.
Finding a chicken, I killed it and went home to cook it. When I arrived, I saw... another player?
The player was on a hill behind my house, I saw no name tag, but the player had the default Steve skin on. I typed "Hello?" in the chat, but no response. Then a rush of laughter hits me, as I realize that one of my friends pranked me. Spooky stuff, they must have had something to do with the sound not working. As I finished laughing, I wanted to know WHICH of my friends pranked me, so I pulled up the list of people on the server and... there's... just... me.
That player was not my friend, I do not know what that THING is. Stupidly, I use my bow to shoot an arrow at the player, but it takes no damage from the hit. I have made that thing mad. Wondering what was about to happen, the player's eyes turned gray, which is unusual. Then its mouth opened, like it changed skins. Literally half a second after it's mouth opened, Minecraft produced a loud BOOM, directly to my ears. That was the first sound I have heard in 45 minutes. The sound was so powerful, I ended up getting kicked from my server, my ears rung for 35 seconds, and my headphones exploded. 
Since that day, I was afraid of playing Minecraft alone, so now I spend my time playing online servers like The Hive.
My advice for people who may play Minecraft alone, if your hear nothing for more than 15 minutes, get off and delete that world, because if you keep that world and continue to play it, you may not keep your hearing.
[NOTE: THIS IS NOT A REAL STORY, THIS IS MADE UP. HOWEVER, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TRY THE "SEED", BE MY GUEST. ITS COMPLETELY RANDOM, SO LET ME KNOW IF YOU ACTUALLY FIND SOMETHING INTERESTING}
