You may not consider it too loud, but it may have been!. You may also have impacted wax!. I'd suggest going to see your doc or an audiologist and getting your ears cleaned!. The pain screams either infection or impaction!.!.!. and both can cause tinnitus!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
This is not good!! About 6 months ago I went to some party, and the music volume was so high, that I was left with this permanent sound in my ears, called tinnitus!. The physician said that it could be treated if I went to see him in the next few days after that party, now it is too late, it is permanent!
<<Tinnitus - from the Latin word for "ringing" - is the perception of sound in the human ear in the absence of corresponding external sound(s)!. Tinnitus can be perceived in one or both ears or in the head!. It is usually described as a ringing noise, but in some patients it takes the form of a high pitched whining, buzzing, hissing, humming, or whistling sound, or as ticking, clicking, roaring, "crickets" or "tree frogs" or "locusts", tunes, songs, or beeping!. It has also been described as a "whooshing" sound, as of wind or waves!.
Tinnitus is not itself a disease but a symptom resulting from a range of underlying causes!. Tinnitus is the ability to perceive sounds which are always present within the auditory (hearing) system!. This is a failure of the compensatory mechanisms that are part of its normal function!. This "phantom" sound can create distress in the sufferer!.>>
You must go to a specialist physician as soon as possible!! You may suffer permanent damage to your internal ear and hear this sound for the rest of your life (mainly when it is quiet around you)!. I hope it won't be the case, good luck!
Also for all the kids listening to loud earphones: be warned, the sounds that reach your internal ear may sum themselves and damage the delicate balance within, so you may even lose your hearing if you are not careful!!! Imagine a world without sounds - sounds awful, right!?!Www@Answer-Health@Com
