Good day everyone.

I am a nursing student. My ultimate goal is to be a travel nurse.

I am happily married for over 12 years and have 3 children: ages 6, 4, and 2. Family is the most important thing in the world and I want to help families work out problems so they do not have to be torn apart.

If your family is as important to you as mine is to me, get the help you need. If you do not like my advice, I respect that but look for someone that works for your needs.

Your family is worth it!

Okay, so tomorrow I'm going to a gig and I'm going to have ringing in my ears after.

I know the best prevention is ear plugs, however I can't get any in this short ammount of time, so I'll have to be "hardcore" and put up with it.

I know there's no way to make it COMPLETELY go away, but perhaps something that may help? (link)
Except for wearing ear plugs to protect your ears, I am not certain there is anything that can help. I am not an ear, nose, and throat doctor but I do work in the medical industry and have access to a fair amount of medical information. I am going to paste below some information I found for you... by the way, ringing in the ears is called tinnitus, should you want to do your own research. Please note the fact that this is trauma to your ears and CAN BE PERMANENT!

Here is what I found:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinnitus

Prevention
Tinnitus and hearing loss can be permanent conditions, thus, precautionary measures are advisable. If a ringing in the ears is audible after exposure to a loud environment, such as a rock concert or a work place, it means that damage has been done. Prolonged exposure to noise levels as low as 70 dB can result in damage to hearing (see noise health effects). For musicians and DJs, special musicians' earplugs can lower the volume of the music without distorting the sound and can prevent tinnitus from developing in later years.

I do not have the actual answer to your question; "perhaps something that may help" but I hope this information helped you nonetheless.
