Given the data you provided you might be experiencing acoustic trauma. In most cases, the ringing will stop without additional treatment and no treatment can be recommended to stop it. If the ringing persists 48 hours after the exposure to loud music, then you might want to visit an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist to check if the loud music have damaged the ear and if the damage is reversible or irreversible.
