Ringing in Ears After Concert?

Ok, so I went to KROQs Almost Acoustic Christmas lastnight, had seats center stage in the 10th row, and everything was fine until Alice in Chains came on. They were soooo damn loud. I couldn't believe it. It was my first concert and I didn't know how loud it could get in there. Anyway, after it was over, my ears were ringing, and they still are today (the morning after). It's only been about 12 hours since the concert ended, but my question is this: Has anyone here experienced this? Will it go away?

Haha, after a concert that included both Lamb of God and Metallica, I thought I felt my ears bleeding.

Yes, it will go away. For you it will be longer considering it is your first concert.

Unfortunately the only way to fix it is to put on some heavy duty headphones and blare more heavy metal music into your ears.

ringing in the ears is typical after being in a loud environment. it will go away...unless you go deaf. then youre screwed.LoG-Sacrament

It'll go away. It's basically just some of the cell receptors in your ears dying.DJ_Lae

That's why i wear earplugs..though i haven't been to a concert in a long time...because i hate masses of people crowded into a designated area and loud noises..

It will go away. For me, it tends to last for a few days.sammyjenkis898

I've never had it, and i've been to a few festivals and very loud nightclubs, which they are suppose to be of course, since if your in the music area then the music is suppose to conjure the scene.

You have to use ear plugs or else your ears could get really messed up.

It goes away. I don't really tend to have a problem with it.

earplugs are really worth it tinnitus is a **** believe me

It's completely and totally normal, you'll be fine in a couple days.

Also, I hate you because I want to see Alice In Chains.

Happens to me after every show i go to unless its outdoor

all the time. i have been to countless concerts. i notice the ringing is worse if it's a band that uses guitars. if it's a synth band, it's usually not as bad.

Thats why I prefer out door concerts.

It'll be ok though.

Well me being a major concert veteran, Im assuming that it was one of you're first concert experiences? Either way. the ringing in the ear will go away, but its actually not a good thing. That sharp sound you hear is actually a pitch that you are losing. Thats why you see people such as myself who go to a lot of concerts wear ear plugs. If I didn't, i would easily be going deaf by now.:P

Yeh whenever I go to gigs or clubs I get the ringing in my ears. With clubs it usually goes by the next day but on some gigs it's taken days to go. Don't worry about it :)tofu-lion91

All the Rock/Metal concerts I've went through over the years, my ears always ring. It's normal, and eventually it'll go away. The very last major concert I went to was AC/DC performing in NYC last year, I swear my ears were going to bleed after their last 3 songs and I was close, but not that close to the stage.

From then on, I started wearing earplugs at smaller venues here in NYC.

I remember being front and center at a Velvet Revolver concert and the ringing lasted for nearly a week. At any rate, it shouldn't last for more than a few days. If it does, see a doctor

I went to a Judas Priest concert last summer, my ears didn't ring, but I couldn't hear as well for a couple of hours afterward, is that generally the same thing?

two friends dragged me a long to see dragon force last week. they had a spare ticket, so didn't cost me anything. stood pretty much at the front. was very loud and i went to bed with ringing in my ears but woke up fine.

When your ears ring, it indicates you have done permanent damage to them. Over time, accumulation of this damage will lead to hearing loss - possibly severe. Sounds like you're going to use ear protection from now on, and suffice it to say that's a wise move. You'd be surprised how little sustained noise our ears can take without accumulating damage.

That's the sound of your ears drums being damaged. Sometimes it can stay forever, many rockers have this problem. Most of the time it will go away though. You'll have to live with it if it doesn't. Forgot the clinical name for it.

That nothing, at the Knob Creek machine gun shoot ear plugs don't prevent the ringing. They just lower the duration (sometimes?).

Happened to me for 3 days after a Dragonforce concert back in '06. Price to pay for being 2m from the stage in a small venue. Totally worth it.

Yeah I've had that, It does go away.
