I was at a rock concert just recently and i'm aftaid it damaged my ear. I had eardrops, well somewhat, I made them smaller and didn't push them deep in the ears, but they blocked ear channel and a lot of the noise disappeared. I listend to the music for about 10 minutes before I went to get eardrops and had them on for 95% of the time, when I was listening. I took 'em out when I left the room occasionally.
Anyways, my left ear feels kind of as if I had had and earplug in my ear or cotton or something. It's not always the same feeling though, somethimes it's more present, sometimes it's less.
But the thing i'm concerned about most is the hearing loss in that ear. My left ear used to be a bit better then the right one, now I can clearly feel the right one being dominant when listening to music in headphones.
I had a tinnitus before, happened about a year ago, but now it seems to be a bit worse too.
What else is weird is that the ear feels warm inside sometimes and pouring water in the ear hurts it a little bit.

Ok, done... I'm afraid it could be permanent .. Any chance of thing returning to normal?
