Default How long should it take for normal hearing to return after a loud concert? - 12-18-2008, 12:35 AM

I attended a loud rock concert 5 days ago now. Following the concert I had tinnitus in both ears and trouble hearing. Normal (or seemingly normal) hearing returned to my right ear after about two days. However my left ear still has ringing, and sounds are extremely muffled. Is it normal for it to take so long for hearing to recover? What are the chances that I'm facing permanent damage?

You've busted an eardrum. Go to the doctor.

A day or so, unless you had problems before, then it could be a few days.

Well you should definatly go see an ear specialist, not a doctor, but a specialist. They will tell you exactly what is going on in there. How was the concert? lol
