When will the ringing stop?!!or is there a way to get rid of it?

Question

I went to a concert yesterday and we were by the speakers for like 4 hours. i know ringing in your hears means hearing damage, but this time the ringing wont stop! ive definitely learned my lesson to start wearing earplugs.

Answer 1

The ringing you hear could be tinnitus. Tinnitus, often associated with hearing loss, causes a ringing, buzzing, or other noise heard in the ear in the absence of any outside noises that can be annoying, irritating, bothersome, and/or infuriating to the person affected. Tinnitus can also be a symptom of other hearing and ear disorders.

Listening to loud music at concerts and clubs, or at home with headphones, can lead to temporary or permanent loss of hearing, sometimes referred to as "rock-and-roll deafness."

Digital technology means that music can be played at events at a much higher volume without being distorted. As a result, clubbers or those who listen to loud music at home are three times as likely to suffer from tinnitus.

A study in Britain found that, of those who went to rock concerts, up to 73 per cent reported dulled hearing or tinnitus or both. Among clubbers the figure was 66 per cent, and 17 per cent of earphone users also reported hearing difficulties. Tests have shown that 44 per cent of those who attend rock concerts once a month have hearing difficulties

On this particular night, you happened to sit in front of amplifiers for FOUR HOURS and that's why the ringing in your ears is lasting longer than it normally does. If the ringing does not stop within the next 24 hours, you should immediately schedule an appointment to have your ears examined.

Decibel (dB) Data:

Normal conversation: 65 dB

Live concert: 120 dB

Pain threshold for average human ear: 130 dB

If you have tinnitus, your ears would benefit from not listening to loud music and noises. However, if music and the club scene are a significant part of your life, you may find it difficult to go to clubs less often. In that case, as you have mentioned, use disposable earplugs, which come in a variety of shapes, sizes, textures, and colors. To reduce the risk of an ear infection, replace your earplugs with a new pair after a few wears. Also, position yourself away from the amplifiers.
