Yesterday, I was at a concert. It was a very loud one, and my right ear seems to have been damaged. While it's become better now, I certainly do notice hearing problems.
What bugs me is that I've visited a number of concerts, and I was exposed to very loud music there (front row at some Heavy Metal concerts, close to front at Deep Purple etc). I've never experienced this before. I expected to hear some sort of beeping in my ears as usual (and I did last night after the concert), but it's now been more than 12 hours, my left ear is fine, but my right ear is close to deaf.
I figured I'd ask you guys here, persuming you've been to many more concerts than me. I stood close to the right speakers at first, but gradually moved back into the middle of the hall.
Maybe it was the loudest concert I've ever been to. I only wonder if this kind of thing pops up more often, and, most important, if it's temporary. I really don't want to have a permanent hearing problem!
