Question Posted Wednesday December 22 2010, 5:13 pm
Ok so what i have isnt fully "Tittitnus" basically i filmed a freinds band practice on the 21'st, i came away from it with all sorts of wierd tones ringing away in my head. My hearing was slightly muffled as well (untill the muffled...-ness went this morning about 10 hours after i came away from practice) The worst of the ringing has passed, but i still have a slight tone in the background of my mind thats there when there's no noise around to cover it up.
i was exposed to the (stupidly) high volumes for no more than 2 hours. Does anyone know how much longer this could go on for?
I went to a festival for over 10 hours before and my hearing wasnt half as bad as it was last night, and that was just 2 hours! ha, weell thanks in advance for all answer's.

However, it seems like the muffled sound is lasting a bit longer than may be usual. I would like to ask if you've been listening to music on an IPod or Zune with headphones lately? If you have, and have had the volume pretty high that could seriously be hurting your hearing. Combined with frequenting loud concerts is not good for your hearing and can also cause irreversible hearing loss. I can say this from personal experience because it happened to me, but fortunately it was detected before it became permenant. If it becomes a problem for you or continues to persist I'd suggest you talk to your doctor. In the meantime be careful of exposing yourself to loud music. Hope this helps! Good luck!
