When will it stop and will I suffer hearing loss from it?

It should stop in a few hours to a couple of days. The other day I was out at the range shooting, and my ears were ringing for a while. Also, I can still hear fine. Just remember to bring earplugs next time. It will reduce the volume, but not the quality of sound.

I took my girls to a concert a few years ago, (maybe 10 or 12) and I think my ears are still ringing! I couldn't hear for at least a day and it felt as if my head was in a box for longer than that! I am sure a steady diet of that loud noise will have a lasting negative effect on ones hearing!! Ear plugs would be the order of the day next time!

Yeah, that happens after a loud concert and WILL go away eventually. It is temporary hearing loss. BUT if this was a very frequent occurance you could end up damaging your hearing. This is why people that work in jobs that are loud have to wear earplugs or earmuffs. Once you lose your hearing it does not come back. And ask anyone who wears (or does not bother to wear, like my Dad) a hearing aid, the sound you get from them is not the same. You could buy earplugs to wear to you next concert: you will still hear it'll just be at a lower volume.

You could go to this website for more info., like what I provided below.

"Every day, we experience sound in our environment, such as the sounds from television and radio, household appliances, and traffic. Normally, we hear these sounds at safe levels that do not affect our hearing. However, when we are exposed to harmful noise—sounds that are too loud or loud sounds that last a long time—sensitive structures in our inner ear can be damaged, causing noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). These sensitive structures, called hair cells, are small sensory cells in the inner ear that convert sound energy into electrical signals that travel to the brain. Once damaged, our hair cells cannot grow back.

Scientists once believed that the pure force of vibrations from loud sounds caused the damage to hair cells. Instead, recent studies have shown that exposure to harmful noise triggers the formation of molecules inside the ear that can damage or kill hair cells."

were your ears hurting during the concert? You might want to go to a doctor if it doesn't clear up by tomorrow. You dont want to suffer from loss of hearing.
