What happenend to my hearing?!
Question:
What happenend to my hearing?
I went to a concert last night, when the music started I got this very bad pain in my ear, and sounds are muffled. The music was so loud, almost unbearable.
Answers:
You may have a perforated ear drum. You will want to see your doctor (better yet- an ear, nose, and throat specialist) and they will be able to determine whats going on. They may send you to an audiologist (like myself) for a full diagnostic hearing test to see if you suffered a hearing loss, and determine what type of hearing loss it is.
Was there any bleeding or draining from your ears afterwords? Did you have any congestion or earaches within the past week or so?
And forget about the comment on the occupational noise exposure. That's b.s. and people put themselves at their own risk when they go to concerts.
