I'm 15, and I went to one 45 minute really loud concert. My ears have been ringing for almost 3 weeks. It only bothers me when there's no other noises, so it's not that bad...I'm just worried that it'll get worse. Is there a chance it still might fade away? Or does it just get worse with time?

Also - my friend was standing right next to me, and she doesn't seem to have any problem. She's been to way more concerts than me, too. Is it possible to have it and not realize it because you've had it so long? Or are some people just affected differently?

There are two types of tittinus. There's a permanent one and a mild one that goes away. Yours could possibly go away. The easiest way to get tittinus is to play loud music a lot and go to concerts. There is no cure for tittinus...you either have it or you don't. If you lie down in a quiet place and the ringing gets louder, it's probably permanent. You can wear a hearing aid to help, but it usually doesn't go away. If it's not permanent, it should be go away soon. It'd be better for you to tell your parents and doctor to get it checked -- s/he is the only person who can guarantee your status of tettinus. I'm 15 and I don't have it but my cousin got hers from going to a concert. Hers went away in about a month. I hope yours goes away, too! Good luck.
~ And don't forget to wear ear plugs if you go to another concert. Try to eat a lot of calcium to help it get better.

Are you sure it was brought on by the concert? I wonder if the loud music from the concert made it worse. Maybe it was always there and is noticeable now...Take your vitamins to protect your body, including your ears, in order to protect them from future hearing loss and to help ease the ringing in the ears. Also, stress can make ringing worse. Environment and stress are big factors for ringing ears. Also, try carrying some ear plugs around.

Noise levels can affect different people in different ways. Your ears are screaming at you to not damage them any further. This ringing or buzzing sound means you have damaged your auditory nerves in your ears. If you continue to subject your ears to extremely loud noises you will cause increasing damage and you can be looking at deafness in your future. Protect your ears at all costs and if that means ear plugs or avoiding loud music then it is a small price to pay to avoid hearing aids at 30.
