Concert = loss of hearing. When will it come back?

[LordJezo]

So like a jerk I forget to bring concert to the hell on stage concert known as the Genitorturers My hearing is now suck. Anyone out there with concert experience who can tell me when it will be back to normal?

We saw Queensryche last year and were right by the speaker. I wore earplugs, my wife didn't. It took her 3 days to get it back. Needless to say, she wears earplugs to every concert we go to now.

Your hearing will come back in a day or two. Could you imagine living with that god awful ringing 24/7?

Well.. it was romantic in a Nazi / S&M sort of way...

Its usually a couple of days. I been to quite a few concerts over the last few years, its starting to take less time for my hearing to come back. You gradually get used to it, i guess.

When I saw RUSH, I was by the speakers....


no earplugs.... lost of hearing for about 3 days.

 

I never recovered all my hearing from a AC/DC concert way back in '81

Once in awhile I will get a ringing in my ear Tinnitus

Couple of days sounds about right. I've prolly gone to a dozen concerts over the past year. Never took more then a day or so for my hearing to come back. Loudest one was Jerry Cantrell at HOB and the craziest, of course, Ozzfest.

If you listen to enough lound music, that ringing will become permanent. I hear alot of older rockstars (Townshed from the Who comes to mind) have to sleep with the TV on a white noise channel. That would majorly suck. But then, the other side of the coin is you are a rock star .That would not suck.

I still can't understand why people don't wear earplugs. Can someone explain this to me?

Always, always, always wear earplugs to concerts like that!

I saw Puddle of Mudd a few weeks ago. Before the concert we stopped & looked for earplugs, all we could find was the silicon stuff for swimmers (to keep water out of your ears). It actually worked quite well, I had no hearing loss whatsoever.
