This tells me that loud noise alone does not cause permanent chronic tinnitus. If it did, the entire world would have what we have and everyone would be in panic.I would say tinnitus rarely goes away for those of us who are on this website for a long time because there are millions of people attending loud events (concerts, sporting events, ...) who get short-lived tinnitus. They are lucky that it goes away for them.
I have also seen many people who, no matter what they do, never end up with tinnitus! And those people never join us here!
Loud noise may cause temporary shift in hearing or ringing sounds - but something else is at play when it becomes permanent and chronic.
