Hello, on April 29th of this year I went to a concert, and felt slightly under the weather with a mild sore throat, headache, and stuffiness. It wasn't until after the show I noticed the typical ringing in my ears. I waited a day, and it was still there, then another day passed, and still there except my ear was itchy, hurting, and I felt fluid in it.
I went to the doctor the following Monday, and she checked out my ears and told me that I had an ear infection and prescribed me antibiotics. I've noticed that in the morning the ringing is worse when I wake up, but after I take my pill it dies down and my ears start draining. Each day the ringing has faded though, even though it has been almost a week since being on the medicine and still four more days to go on the pills. I asked her if the concert was the cause of it, and she assured me it was not, and it was the fluid and mucus in my ears. I also have had sinus infections before, and bad allergies.
It was such a coincidence with the concert being on the same night as my ear infection... What are the chances really? The ringing isn't terrible, more like it's only there if I think about it now, and in the morning. But it is more like tiny, slight bells that sort of ring, but die down. I've avoided loud noises since, and take my ear plugs with me whenever I go out.
I'm hoping this goes away totally though. Any thoughts or reassurance on it?
