Thanks, have something scheduled for Thursday. From what I've read around the internet, some people say it is permanent, others say it goes away.
Truth be told I'm getting a bit nervous after 3 days......

You need to be nervous, get to that ear dr. pronto! when I was 23 I woke up one morning totally deaf in one ear after having perfect hearing all my life. is called ideopathic hearing loss (ideo meaning no knwon cause) and was sudden, profound & not reverseable. was in and out of some of the top hospitals in new york city for many years after that & saw drs. who wrote the medical books! wish i'd seen your post sooner. good luck!

What happened in the end, how are you today Owl?
hi max, that day was the total end of hearing in that ear for life (not due to any loud rock concerts) & i've lived like that ever since & taught myself how to lip-read when necessary, things get really scary if i get occasional ringing in my good ear. don't know how many times one of my dogs had to lick my face to wake me when i slept on my good ear & didn't hear my alarm. so, that's how i am today! your senses are a gift, never take them for granted. thanks for asking. what are you doing up so late?

Yes, I wish I'd learned that lesson years ago, as I've got considerable hearing loss after decades of loud rock 'n' roll. I eventually started using them after a show that was so loud (I was standing in front of the speakers) that it was affecting my inner ear and I kept feeling I was going to pass out. Quite apart from the temporary-deafness factor. But the good news is that the ringing from that show did wear off, and since using the right kind of earplugs I've never had that problem again, and at least I'm saving what's left of my hearing.
(By the right kind, I mean the kind that fit snugly into the ear canal--if you get a good brand, you can still hear the show clearly, just less loud.)

Is there a "get out" for the promotors clause when you buy the tickets?
Surely if damage is done then someone is culpable?

I was right next to the stage when Dave Grohl soloed on Bitch. My left ear has been ringing since then. (3rd day today)
Figure about 90% of you will joke me, but seriously, how long could this last?
The ringing is not noticeable in a normal setting of conversation etc...but very noticeable in a quiet room and when trying to sleep.
History = No prior ear damage/ringing etc....
Any help/experience appreciated.

Man, that is too bad, sorry to learn that. Hopefully peole can learn from that, at least the apprecition factor.... and getting to a Doctor... and buying good plugs.
I am on an adjusted schedule for a bit... so thank goodness for good ole IORR on the down time. Open 24 hours a day, with people always checking in from around the globe, at all hours. That is my favorite thing about this place, a truly international, 24/7/365 board.

Only Americans would even think about taking legal action against a promoter for hearing damage!

P.S. A friend in high school as a standard thing took ear plugs to shows in case it turned out painfully loud. Sounded kind of "uncool" but it wasn't stupid.
