An airhorn got blown v close to my right ear on Saturday whilst watching football. I can't hear properly through that ear now. It doesn't hurt, but there's just a continuous ringing. Will it sort itself?
Yes should be ok. Permanent damage can result from sustained exposure to loud noise/loud music. Thats why you always see the singer of a band (Chrsi Martin etc) with musicians ear plugs, otherwise their hearing would degenerate over a peiod of time.
I often come out of nightclubs not being able to hear, sometimes still rings a bit the next day, but I can still hear through it. Can't hear a thing through my right ear now though, and it's 48hrs later.
I've booked an appointment with the doc later this afternoon - I want to see him about something else anyway.
