.my hearing is SHOT
I have worked in and currently work in loud enviorments my whole life.
From remodeling houses to being aournd woodworking machinery all day, I do it.
I have plenty of articles in my files about the effects of hearing loss if you want them, I can send them to you.
Ears cannot repair themselves. You most like have suffered hearing dammage from being at that concert. NOw, did you lose 1% or 5% off your hearing is hard to say.
When I work around any loud equipment I wear ear plugs.....extremely loud equipment I wear plugs and a headset.
I have a DB ratings chart and acording to them you really dont need to many minutes in a noisy enviorment to START having hearing loss. ANything over around 110 decibles is really bad stuff.
The funny thing is that our generation is reporting huge amounts of hearing loss. The truth is, we live in a real noisy world these days. They said one of the main things the doctors are seeing is from the headsets that kids wear at full blast,
SUB woofers and loud ass concerts.
The thing they say about hearing is that it is a gradual loss.....you barley even notice it. One of the first signs is not being able to hear someone talking directly too you in a loud enviorment.

this i good advice....i wear earplugs all the time NOW....mowing the lawn, snowblower, shopvac, and of course with power tools......even sometimes with a hammer....metal on metal is the worst
might have to get a headset for this season of NHRA action.....if you've never been....now THAT's LOUD

To elaborate a little more with John...There are little hairs in your ear, when they are excited by sound they vibrate, which tranfers that vibration into nerve impulses, that your brain interpets as sound. When the hairs are subjected to constant loud noises, they will vibrate after the sound stops; that's where the ringing comes from. Generally, those hairs when pushed to ringing will fall out gradually over a long period of time. They do not grow back. Hearing loss from loud noise is permanent.
Generally, a concert or two won't do anything, or even cranking up the car stereo from time to time.
But...if you work in a noisy environment, or are subjected to a high level of white noise on a day to day basis, concerts and loud events are really bad for you as the ears are not allowed to rest enough.
Ear plugs are a great thing for concerts, they only cut the really annoying frequencies anyway. Most of the time with earplugs you can tell how shitty the band is live anyway; most really loud bands suck live, that's why they turn it up . I bring along my earmuff hearing protectors to NHRA events everytime, When those Top fuel cars go down the track it's ungodly loud. A buddy of mine and I rode our motor cycles to the opening event at Rt 66 several years ago, we were a mile or more away in traffic and as the Top fuel cars were running it was setting off car alarms that far out. Totally awesome.
Even with the earmuffs on the cars were so loud it distorted my vision while we were at the starting line. If anyone here hasn't gone to an NHRA event; it's a must! Kinda makes running 12's look pretty insignifigant.
