Did I just develop chronic tinnitus?
On 4/23, I attended a concert. I’ve never experienced ringing in my ears of any sort and wasn’t super knowledge on tinnitus so
I didn’t wear earplugs.
That night I experienced tinnitus for the first time, but by the next day it went away.
On 4/30 I went to another concert, however I wore earplugs. Slept fine that night without any ringing.
I can’t remember if it was before or after the second concert, but I felt it again trying to sleep once or twice, I tried to blame it on stress triggering it.
I went to a third concert on 5/15. I wore earplugs, and was fine.
However, 3 days after that concert, after I got off the plane, about a 1.5 hour ride, the ringing came back 2 hours later. It’s been 3 days since then, the ringing is faint but appears before I sleep and a bit after I wake up
What kind of tinnitus is this? Is it likely to be chronic? What are things I can do to help it? I’m very new to this all.
