Ringing Ears After a Concert

Ringing ears after a concert? – you’ve just got home from a big rock concert of your favorite band, or maybe from a dance club where the DJ was pumping. You had your head very close to the speakers the whole night, and your friends had to yell in your ears for you to hear anything. Now that you’re home and lying in bed, there’s the deafening sound of ringing still staying in your ears. You can almost still feel like you’re still at the concert when you close your eyes, but you realize it’s just a ringing ears concert playing in your head.

The above scenario has probably happened to all of us at least once or twice in our lives. When it starts to happen too much, however, the ringing we hear can last for longer and longer periods, until it becomes permanent. This phenomenon is known as tinnitus, as is increasingly becoming a problem for many who go to venues where loud music is playing, or who frequently play loud music through headphones.

Tinnitus is Real

There’s a line in the Bob Seger song “Turn the Page”, “Later in the evening/You lay awake in bed/With the echo of the amplifiers/Ringing in your head”. People who play in bands are one of the groups most susceptible to getting severe tinnitus. While it’s usually not thought of as a problem when you only get ringing in the hours after a concert, frequent exposure to loud sounds could mean permanent damage, and every night will feel like you’ve just been out with your head next to a speaker.

The volume of most concerts, even in smaller venues, is usually louder than the sound of a plane taking off. That should give you some idea of what you’re exposing your ears to when you’ve got ringing ears from concerts. If you still want to go to shows and clubs, but don’t want to risk further damage to your ears, there are a number of steps you can take to eliminate a ringing ears concert afterwards.

The most obvious of these is to take earplugs with you. If your friends think it’s lame that you can’t take the volume, ignore them. The sound of constant ringing can be far more annoying than the occasional jibes of friends. Earplugs are pretty cheap and are usually available at concerts and clubs themselves, so they can be easily picked up.

Keep in mind, though, that some earplugs block out certain sound frequencies. This means that you might not hear higher or lower pitches of sound properly, and may not get the full experience of the concert. There are certain earplugs available, however, that reduce volume while keeping all pitches even, so be sure to seek these out to help stop having ringing ears after a concert.

While tinnitus is a real problem that affects many people for different reasons, going to a floor-shaking, ringing-ears concert is one way to guarantee real damage to the connection between your brain and ears. To avoid this problem, be responsible about how you treat your ears, and always use ear-plugs when you feel the sound is getting too loud.
