First off, hello everyone this is my first time posting on this forum, I have come across it a few times in a search for some info about my T, and finally decided to post something.
So, First things first, I go to allot of concerts, and listen to music full volume pretty much nonstop (seriously, I fall asleep to death metal not even joking), so it sounds like no question that contributed to my T right?
Well that's what I was thinking at first. I had gone to about 15 shows over the past 2 years, and I thought that after I went to see Glitch mob/the m machine back in october, that maybe it was just building up volume and after that it was finally audible.
But then I started thinking, and realized that although I got generic concert ear the day after the show, and like all the times before it it went away completely. It wasn't until 2 and a half weeks later that I started noticing the ringing.
At first it wasn't too bad (could hear in a relatively quite room, or if I focused), but not knowing all the details about how T worked, I stupidly went to see Story of the Year Dec 5, and it got so much louder. The next show I got smart and was determined to wear ear protection (earplugs that I got form an excision concert yet stupidly didn't wear), but due to a surprise pickup by my friend I left them on my dresser and ended up seeing Cage the Elephant in a ridiculously small venue (little larger than the average bar) with it turned up to 11.
Now the ringing is pretty loud (like a tube TV on about 6 feet away), but I can deal with it, like I said I fall asleep to death metal. Even though I can deal with it just fine, I still would like to know the possibilities of it being permanent? I am DEFINITELY wearing hearing protection to the next concert, and was stupid not to in the past.
I never cared about people talking about hearing damage. I just thought it was things might sound quieter and I might have to turn up the volume a bit. If somebody told me this was a possibility I would never have gone without earplugs.
