Q: Tinnitus after loud music

asked by: Jono on January 12th, 2008

Hi, my name is Jono.

Last week (on Saturday evening) I went to a party and there was very loud music lasting about 3 and a half hours.

Ever since the party i have had a quiet buzz or ringing in my right ear. I can only hear it when it is very quiet around me. It doesn't prevent me from getting to sleep.

I am wondering if this could be tinnitus or any other hearing problem. I am only 16 years old. Is it likely that I have tinnitus or any other permanent hearing problem? are there any cures or treatments to make it go away?

I am going to see a doctor on Monday, but I would like an opinion as soon as possible, to let me know how serious it might be.

Thanks in advance,

Jono.

Are you STILL experiencing the buzzing?

Sometimes, I experienced this symptom after being around loud music. You can wear ear plugs the next time that you are near speakers, especially at concerts. It's a little dorky, but it saves your ears!

deffintly wear ear plugs the next time you are near anything loud, the ringging in your ears is the cillia diying, it means that you are going to lose that spicific pitch, and will not get it back again, ive delt with hearing loss my whole life trust me its not quite as fun as some ppl make it out to be.you amy want to see an audiologist and get your hearing tested, they may not pick up the loss on that spiciffic pitch as there are thousands a i think they only test about 10, just the ones we need to for speach, and general communication. but get tested, 20% fo adults have a 20% heaing loss and dont know it
