So I went to see a few bands last night and I ended up standing right next to a massive wall of speakers :facepalm: I came out of the venue and my ears were ringing like fuck, but it usually goes away the next day after I've slept. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. My hearing is all muffled, and I've got a massive ringing in my ears, constantly.
How can I restore my hearing back to normal? It's getting annoying now :mad:

From this (featuring MCs for 8-12hrs):
To this exact recording afterwards with some Opiates:
Have it really quiet, strain your ears to make out every instrument, word and sound. After a minute or two you should be okay.
It works for me, if not I guess go see a doctor.
That's definitely what I'll do next time. I used to wear them during band practices and they gave them out for free before you'd go into the practice room, which was cool. I still have a pair in a drawer over there.
You need to let your ears rest as much as possible (as in: as little noise as possible, no music, no train riding, no jackhammers etc.) for 72 hours after what is called a "noise attack" in the medical field.
And, for fucks sake, wear earplugs next time!
Shit *switches off jackhammer*
Thanks for the advice. The ringing has calmed down a lot now, but it's still going after a few days now :facepalm: It's definitely getting better though. I also just switched off my music.
I'll be sure to use the plugs next time!
