I went clubbing last night, and as most people do I got ringing in my ears. However, its the morning now and I've had a sleep but the ringing is still there, without getting less intense. Has anyone else had this problem? On google I found this was tinnitus, which some people have the rest of their lives. Being a hypochondriac I started to think I might have it forever. Could I be right or has many other people experienced this?
yes when i first went clubbing and gigging i could have that ringing in my ears for a couple of days at its worst - the bad news is i don't get that anymore not even a little bit - as the clubs etc made me a little bit deaf.
the ringing is caused by the damage you have done to your ears, try to move away from the speakers a bit more next time - or better still don't stand directly in front of them (round a corner is best) so that the sound is not going straight to you
but watch out. I used to wear headphones all the time to listen to my music at work. Now I have tinnitus, the ringing just never stops and is quiet annoying.
