| 396537 | 2005-10-15 07:06:00 | Give it a few days - it is basically your ear getting exhausted, and it needs a lot of rest. If it doesn't fix itself in a few days, go to the Doc. | somebody (208) | ||
| 396538 | 2005-10-15 07:31:00 | I use to have this on my ears...especially on Big day out...so now I use those inner ear plugs or anything that will try to prevent loudness din piercing through my eardrums... | Mr Wetzyl (362) | ||
| 396539 | 2005-10-15 07:48:00 | The real problems will emerge in middle age, the damage done by the high energy bass of modern audio systems (as an example) is irreversible if it is frequent enough. We will see a generation with a high % of partially deaf people I believe "Loud music is one area of concern, especially with teenagers who seem to enjoy their music more if the volume is turned up. Who hasn’t sat in a car at a stoplight with the windows rolled up and still heard the “boom, boom, boom” from a neighboring car radio?" www.speechandlanguage.com |

| 396540 | 2005-10-15 07:49:00 | Give it a few days - it is basically your ear getting exhausted, and it needs a lot of rest. If it doesn't fix itself in a few days, go to the Doc. Your ear is not exhausted, it is injured, and although the tinnitus may subside, that injury cannot be repaired. Damage from repeat exposure to excessive noise levels is incremental and irreversible. In some ways you are very lucky that you have had a warning like this, especially if you enjoy music. There is no worse fate for a music lover than severe tinnitus and deafness. Let Google be your friend, research hearing damage from loud music and you will never go near that volume level again, or if you do you should wear proper earplugs that allow normal music response as used by professional musicians. I have just bought them for my children, one plays in orchestras and the other in Jazz bands. Both had brass and percussion right behind them. With the earplugs in, they can hear the correct tonal balance and frequency response, but at much reduced (read "normal") volume levels. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

Who hasn’t sat in a car at a stoplight with the windows rolled up and still heard the “boom, boom, boom” from a neighboring car radio?" www.speechandlanguage.com I don't know if you guys see 20/20 last night regarding this souped up cars with their heavy boom boom and one guy interviewed said he had his eardrum blown out but he is still listening to this heavy boom on cars... |

| 396542 | 2005-10-15 08:04:00 | I don't mind the boom but keep it minimal...I have experienced in traffic jams and they set off this boomdiboom music...sooo annoying when you are caught up on a slow moving traffic jam...the whole vehicle just vibrates & so is the whole area where the boomdiboom car was | Mr Wetzyl (362) | ||
| 396543 | 2005-10-15 08:20:00 | What Billy has said is 100% correct . You have already damaged your hearing . If you are lucky the amount of loss will not be too noticeable and the ringing will go away within a few days to a week . If it doesn't there is absolutely nothing that can be done about it but see a doctor anyway . I know because I have lived with varying degrees of tinnitus for virtually my entire life . It is not nice . Learn from your experience - never expose yourself to any form of loud noise again without adequate ear protection because next time you may suddenly lose a great deal of your hearing as people who have suffered ringing in the ears after exposure to loud noise sometimes do . It's just not worth it, believe me . |
