One man explained,
For a quick fix for tinnitus, I take a shower. Whenever I shower, I always let the water gush into my ears for 30-60 seconds, back and forth, ear to ear. I do this first thing (when I can remember) so that I don’t forget. (Sometimes I have come out of he shower, dried off, and then realized I forgot to do this to my detriment.) At worst, the tone will change, usually lessening, and at best the ringing is gone, sometimes for five minutes, sometimes for an hour, sometimes all day. Certainly good enough to make a habit.
In response to some of my questions he added,
You asked me what pitch my tinnitus was so that it reacted to a shower noise. To be honest, I can’t describe it. It’s probably a ringing/swishing sound. At one time it was very bad but it is quite tolerable now. The shower works about 80% of the time, though sometimes only briefly. Also, if you don’t want to get your ears wet, you can just put your ear close to a kitchen faucet while the water is running. To me it gives the same effect. I find it works well when my ear is about 6″ from the running water.
What you have discovered is called residual inhibition. I’ve never heard of residual inhibition occurring from squirting water into your ears, but obviously, the sounds of water makes in your ears are causing residual inhibition in your case. Isn’t that wonderful?
Actually, I don’t think it is the fact that the water is squirting into your ears, but the shhhhh (white noise) sounds the shower-head makes that does the trick. That is why just putting your ear close to any faucet that makes a similar noise also works.
With residual inhibition, you typically listen to sounds that are similar in quality to your tinnitus. For some reason, after you listen for a few seconds or a few minutes and then stop it, you find that your tinnitus stops as well. As you have found, sometimes this residual inhibition only lasts for a few seconds or a few minutes. However, sometimes it can last for a few hours or even a few days, and in extreme cases, some people have found that their tinnitus never returns.
This works for some people and not for others. You are one of the fortunate ones. It does not work for my kind of tinnitus, for example.
Caution: Do not squirt water into your ear canals unless you have a reduced-flow shower head. The older higher-pressure shower heads, or any shower-head that produces a strongly-pulsating or direct stream of water, when directed into your ear canals can cause tinnitus. The force of the water hitting your eardrum gives exactly the same results as exposing your ears to a sudden loud sound. People that do this are risking making their existing tinnitus worse and causing tinnitus where none existed before. Gentle, reduced-flow shower heads do not cause tinnitus in my experience. I’ve been using them daily for more than a decade without any tinnitus problems.
If you want to learn more about residual inhibition and tinnitus, or more about many other tinnitus treatment protocols, check out my book, When Your Ears Ring—Cope with Your Tinnitus—Here’s How.
Probably find its the heat from the shower if your tinnitus is like mine and caused by nerve damage. There are therapies that stimulate nerves for relief
some say cold showers are better so maybe not. I think it may be related to some sort of acoustic resetting. I have found some showers better than others and you can also put your ear next to the sink facet for 3 to 5 minutes. This usually/sometimes helps.
Do you run cold or warm water?
Hi Stuart:
I don’t think the temperature of the water really makes much difference. I think it is the sound (and frequency) of the water coming from the shower head that inhibits tinnitus.
Cordially,
Neil
That is so great to hear as that’s what l have nerve damage it really hurts after l have a shower the noises in my head and ears are really loud
I do the same thing I can take a shower and have had my ears dead quiet for days. Plus if I have a drink or use night time cold meds I can have it gone for days. But then it comes back. My issue started with some ear drops I put in my ears and I woke up the next day to the noise and have had it ever sins. The ENT and other DR’s have no idea why.
I attended a very loud concert one week ago but then the following day got sick with what looks like an upper respiratory infection and am still recovering from being ill (1 full week) and then just yesterday one week after the show I clean my ears out with ear removal solution and that’s when I noticed the tinnitus ringing in my ear that I am very worried about right now and have already gone to the ER and they said that it didn’t look like anything too serious but I’m wondering if I can take a hot bath and lay down under the water and let the hot water enter my ears without having any negative effects. I want to but also don’t want to make it worse. Any thoughts?
Hi Ian:
I don’t see any problem with the had taken a hot bath on letting the water getting your ear canals. It shouldn’t make your tinnitus worse and if it helps you so much the better. In any case, you want to ignore your tinnitus, not focus on the. When you focus on your tinnitus, your limbic system locks onto it and enhances it so you can hear it better which is exactly what you don’t want to happen. Instead, focus on the lives of your life and let your tinnitus fade into the background.
Cordially
Neil
Thanks Neil. It’s very hard to ignore when it is loud. I’m working on it. I’m glad the water shouldn’t hurt because sometimes a shower helps. Had it for about a month now and hoping it’s temporary. I’ve had one really good day and then some anxiety set it off again.
Thanks
Joe
interesting about the cold meds. I was taking aleve pm and i thought it helped but now doesn’t ; same with benedryl. I’m now reluctantly trying low dose Xanax (0.25×2) I have been to acupuncture twice and think it helps – the next day. I’m going to keep going and will report back
Hi exact same thing happened to me, 12 years ago put drops in and started never stopped
I discovered coconut oil can fix tinnitus rub the oil in the ear of the inside and outside close of your ear you fill feel instant relief.
Hi Jerick:
That may work for you but it won’t work for everyone. So if you have tinnitus, it never hurts to try and see if it works for you.
What is it–the particular oil, or the rubbing, or what that does the trick. For example, if you used another oil would it still work.
Also, would it work if you did the rubbing and didn’t use any oil?
And one final question–how long does it last. Does the tinnitus go away for an hour, or a day or month or forever?
Cordially,
Neil
Hello Neil. What a great website.
Warm bath to improve hearing? Well, I took to clearing earwax this way. Audiologist said all clear now: best way to do it.
Although my query felt eccentric, I told her I like to ‘rumble’ the filled canal for a minute or so, by placing a finger just inside the canal, or a hand flat over the meatus. Seemed to me that the very audible muscle sub-audio might stir the fluids in the organ of corti, and perhaps cheer up some flagging hair cells there.
The audio told me she does exactly the same! But it seems there’s no actual science on this.
Subjectively I think my daily ‘rumble therapy’ has improved my mid-range threshold. And, in support of that, since I have taken up enjoying organ music on a very full-range system over the past few years, plenty of 16-25 Hz, there’s been a slight improvement in my actual audiogram. A surprise at age 76. My loss is entirely sensory-neural, not mechanical (whatever the word for that one is!) Any validity, do you think?
Hi Howard:
The word you want, for hearing loss that is not sensorineural is conductive.
I don’t see how “pulsing” the water in your ear canal strengthens the hair cells. It is no different to the inner ear than hearing sounds at those frequencies normally. I’d need more information before I can buy into that.
Cordially,
Neil
Hi Neil, I wondered onto your blog and have a question or two. I am sure most have it worst than me, but this started about a week ago and is in my left ear and came from no where. Just for honesty’s sake, I do were ear buds when I workout to listen to podcasts and such though never loud and I have since stopped this practice. I have major ear wax problems and think that or some dental issues (shifting top teeth) may be the culprit. What does bring me relief is definitely the shower. For up to 1/2 hour after my shower, the tinnitus either is gone or extremely low that I don’t even notice it. It does come back though. Tuesday I am going for acupuncture and have eliminated both alcohol and caffeine until this is gone. I also have an appointment in two weeks with my doctor just in case it is not gone. Besides keeping active working out which makes me tired at night, eating clean and doing the things I mentioned above is there anything else I could be doing. I also started drinking Apple Cider Vinegar and used a little hydrogen peroxide in my left ear canal, that made the noise a little louder if that makes sense. I try not to read other people’s stories because it will give you anxiety. Just wondering if anything else I could be doing or avoiding to help this… Would rate my noise like a 2 – 3 out of 10 and it is definitely higher pitched like a radio signal… Good luck to everyone reading this…
Hi Dale:
Let me make sure I have this straight. You began hearing tinnitus out of the blue in your left ear around the beginning of March. You find that the sound of the shower lets your tinnitus temporarily fade away.
That is called residual inhibition. It’s cool when it happens. You get instant relief. But it only happens when your tinnitus is compatible with shower noise.
To what do you ascribe your tinnitus–anything in particular you think caused it?
Wearing ear buds at a reasonable volume shouldn’t be a cause of tinnitus–if you keep the volume more or less the same as you would hear a person talking to you.
Too much ear wax can cut down the volume of the sounds you normally hear, and that can result in tinnitus. You need to keep your ear canals clean. Some people produce a lot more wax than others. So you may need to clean your ears out monthly or quarterly or semi-annually or annually. Your PCP or audiologist can do this.
I personally clean my ears every day, but that’s my choice. I just squirt the water from the shower head (reduced pressure shower head mind you) and that keeps them clean. I dry them with a Q-tip. (I know doctors say not to do this–but it is easier on my ears that the rough treatment I’ve received from various doctors over the years.
You are doing a number of things, none of them bad, but by doing so many things at once, you can’t tell which one or ones are effective.
I’m not sure what else to add. I need more information on what is working for you and what causes it to vary in volume–apart from the shower.
Cordially,
Neil
Hi Neil,
So my case is kind of interesting.
It all started with a blocked ear caused by impacted ear wax, I went to my GP to for syringe irrigation, a lot of wax came out, I could hear properly. After about 3 days I woke with a buzzing sound in my head, like a television set is on or I am next to a fridge.
It’s been going on for 3 days now, I am worried and unsure what the situation is.
My hearing was perfect before the ear wax impaction.
I am meant to see my GP next week for further investigation
I really hope the buzzing sound/tinnitus goes away soon enough
Any tips or advise?
Thanks
Hi Jimmy:
When you or your doctor syringe your ears, you always have to be careful not to use too much pressure as that pressure hitting your eardrum mimics the same as hearing a very loud sound.
The harder the way, the tendency is to use more and more pressure to blast it out–and that can result in severe tinnitus.
There’s not much you can do now–what’s done is done. Probably the best thing to do is treat your ears as you would after experiencing loud sounds that caused tinnitus. Don’t expose your ears to loud sounds for a few weeks to let them heal. You might want to supplement with zinc and magnesium–two minerals you ears really need for proper health and repair. You also might want to take N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) to help your body make more glutathione–one of its powerful antioxidants to zap the free radicals that are formed as a result of the ear damage.
Cordially,
Neil
Thanks for your response Neil,
I will try the medication out and keep you posted on my progress.
Regards,
Hi Neil,
Just a follow a question.
I have ordered the medication you spoke of, it should be in my mail soon enough.
I was just wondering whether I should have bought the glutathione supplements directly instead of NAC?
On a different note, my GP said the tinnitus should fade away with time (nothing specified), she did not refer me to the ENT or for any further scans or test. She checked my eardrums and did some blood tests to rule out infections, everything was fine.
I am obviously stressed and worried (which is not also good for the T).
I know some people have had T their whole lives, some for 2 days, 8 days, 2 months, 6 months, 3 years etc.
In your wealth of experience, how long do you think mine may last before it resolves, I know that sounds like a “silly” question or just me looking for re-assurances, but any insight will be highly appreciated, thanks.
Hi Jimmy:
There is no point it taking glutathione itself as your stomach breaks it down so you don’t get much benefit from taking it. That is why you typically take NAC and let your body synthesize glutathione from it and other substances.
There is no way to specify how long tinnitus will last as that is a personal thing–it depends on your emotional makeup, your level of anxiety, whether you think of your tinnitus as a threat to your well-being, etc., among other factors.
The real question you want to know is how long will my tinnitus bother me. If it isn’t a problem, then whether you hear it or not doesn’t really matter. I’ve had tinnitus for more than 70 years now–but I don’t let my tinnitus bother me so I don’t really care whether I hear it or not. Right now since I am writing about tinnitus, my ears are “ringing” away, but before I begin, I wasn’t even aware I had tinnitus because I am so habituated to it. And 5 minutes after I finish this reply, I’ll probably again not be aware of my tinnitus, although it is always there. That is what you want to strive for–and if it totally disappears, so much the better.
In very general terms, you might expect your tinnitus to fade away in a “few” months if you treat it as a totally unimportant, useless background sound that you can safely ignore, and then do just that.
Cordially,
Neil
Thanks for your kind response.
Over 70 years with T is a lifetime, I know you are “used to it” by now, and it probably doesn’t affect you.
It takes some real courage and determination, my hats off to you.
I am young man, early twenties, the thought of having it forever is depressing, though I know it get’s better after a while and habituation is also a thing, and heck it could disappear soon enough, hopefully that will be my case. It was just ear irrigation done by millions of people every day.
There are a few clinical trials here and there (FX lab and OTO 313/otonomy), some maybe a pipe dream, but it is always good to hope and think positivity, than jump on the bad wagon of it is never going away. Small Pox was never going away before, but today small pox is found only in labs.
One thing for a fact is that if companies and countries come together to find the cure of T, they will certainly figure something out, just like the did with Covid vaccines, but that’s a discussion for another day.
As you may know, there are a lot of negative comments and rhetoric about T, from doctors, ENTs and sufferers.
The continuous story of “It is for life” “It never goes away” “There is no cure of T” “Nobody has been cured” is constantly pushed down the throat of people. I agree that people should be realistic in the approach of T, but saying things like “It never goes away” can not be more wrong. It does in fact go away for some people, not habituation or learning how to ignore, it actually just goes away, ever since I got this T, I have met people that previously had T and it totally went away and never came back.
T is caused by so many factors, and one person’s T will be totally different from another person’s T, plus genetic and body responses are different.
It’s been a little over 2 weeks since I got T, filled with ups and down, though my mood is definitely better now, and I even think the sound have reduced, because it is certainly affecting me less than before. It maybe habituation or the noise is actually reducing, I can’t say, lol.
I do hope it is fading away though.
And thanks for reading my rants and lamentations, I am going through all the emotions of having T. I really hope the best outcome for us.
I know someone that said even if a medication gets approved for T they won’t take it, because they are so used/habituated to their T.
That was seriously encouraging.
Thanks again, Neil.
I will certainly keep updating you on my progress.
Hi Jimmy:
The chances of any one cure working for tinnitus are nil. At present there are 3 distinct classes of tinnitus and since they are totally different from each other, what works for one class won’t work for the others. And within these classes are subclasses. So in order to treat tinnitus successfully, you first have to determine exactly what class/subclass of tinnitus you have and then tailor the treatment to fit that kind of tinnitus.
Some classes/sub-classes of tinnitus are easier to “cure” or to just disappear, and that is realistic to expect, while for other classes/sub-classes what is realistic is habituation. Again, it is not a matter of one kind fits all. Unfortunately, few people understand the different kinds of tinnitus so treat it as one monolithic whole.
Keep up with your positive attitude and you will do well–whether your tinnitus just fades away or you habituate to it.
Cordially,
Neil
Hey Neil,
Sorry for the delay in reply.
The sound of the Tinnitus seemed to have increased/spiked in a last days.
I know this is fairly normal for many people, and even occasionally may indicate it is going away, or may just be an increase which indicates nothing really.
I am aware that one cure will NOT suit all, as you mentioned Tinnitus can be caused by so many different things.
And it certainly won’t be easy to address all the causes with some tablets, injection, it will take a more therapeutic or programmatic approach to achieve a high level of successful treatment amongst Tinnitus sufferers.
Tinnitus is sometimes “strange” as people have reported it just totally disappeared after a few days, weeks, months or years without any intervention from them, while some other people did certain things and it worked for them, and some others have tried all different types of medication/therapies etc. and also spent a significant amount of money but it stays on.
And some people get cured, but they never come back to the online space to post or talk about them, there many people in this category, so we generally don’t have the correct percentage/number of people that actually recover from Tinnitus or the timeline it takes.
Furthermore, some people haven’t habituated their Tinnitus even though they have had it for 10 years, some habituate in a few months or years, and as I previously mentioned it also disappears for some people in a few months, years etc.
It just varies from person to person, that’s why I am working on getting cured. I personally have a believe that mine will get cured very soon someway or the other (naturally or through some form of intervention). Though I am also cautious on going on a goose chase or buying snake oil treatments, but I am not planning to just accept it and continue moaning about it. Doctors and ENTs are sometimes very useless, they just send you off with “Tinnitus is for life, no cure” which is obviously b###shit, if it for life, why do some people recover? they probably can’t answer that question.
In simpler terms, I rather try things out than just hope for better days or follow the regular statement “It is for life”. I believe our body responds to our actions, for example, I changed diet just for a few weeks, and I have already lost 8kg/22lbs. I was a bit overweight, and I am already seeing improvements in my body metabolism and energy level.
I plan on following a strict anti-inflammatory diet for this month to see what happens.
In my own view, if any cure can help even 10-20% of Tinnitus sufferers that would be a very welcomed intervention/treatment.
From there on, scientists and other stakeholders can build on the existing knowledge and work on curing a wider range of Tinnitus sufferers.
Finally, I am not knocking down on anybody, I know Tinnitus affects people in different ways, and some people even have additional underlying health issues or family/emotional/social issues which make the Tinnitus to be way worse. And people who got Tinnitus 50 years ago had more disadvantage as there was little scientific information or research about it.
It’s 2021, we have robots and ALs (internet of things) all around us, I will say things are surely looking up for medical issues. Some intervention is definitely going to work soon, may not be for every Tinnitus sufferer, but for some certainly, I will call that a win.
I consider myself to be fairly lucky, I have a decent job, no underlying medical issues, most things are going well in life, so I am going to put most of my energy and attention in working on getting the Tinnitus cured, I am very confident something will work for me, maybe diet, physical exercise, acupuncture, yoga, supplements, medication, I don’t know, but something will surely work. And I am not being arrogant, ignorant or not wanting to face reality.
I have been in life situations where people say nothing works or it is impossible to do something, but I have always found a way, I am going to find a way in this case, it won’t be easy, there will be many ups and down, but I will do it.
And I will come back and tell my story, maybe in a few days, weeks, months or years. This is not an emotional rant.
Thanks again for your attention and wealth of knowledge, I wish you the very best in life and your future endeavors.
Best regards,
Jimmy
Hi Jimmy:
I like your attitude towards your tinnitus. Three points I’d like to emphasize.
1. Be careful you do not focus too much on your tinnitus so your brain doesn’t lock onto it and decide it is too important to you to let it go away.
2. It’s great to try all sorts of possible treatments for tinnitus. Just don’t give up to quickly on them if you don’t see fast results. It could take several months before a given treatment shows positive results. Thus its hard to know whether a given treatment won’t work for you, or whether it just needs more time.
3. You may have more than one kind of tinnitus, so to make it go away, you’d have to treat 2 or more kinds of tinnitus concurrently. I’m specifically thinking of having the common neurophysiologic tinnitus and somatosensory tinnitus at the same time. One can hide the other. And you don’t want to mix those up with the various kinds of somatosounds.
I certainly wish you well in your endeavors.
Cordially,
Neil
Hi Neil,
I would really appreciate your advice. Recently I have developed tinnitus and am not sure what could have caused it. About 5/6 days before my tinnitus I was exposed to some loud noise however not for too long. Didn’t really notice anything after that. A few days later I went and had my second dose of the covid vaccine but was still fine and didn’t notice anything. Around 3/4 days later I started noticing this ringing sound in my ear. Please help me out could this be from the noise or the vaccine?
Hi Gordon:
It’s hard to say, but I would have thought tinnitus from loud noise would have shown up before 6 days. On the other hand, thousands of people have reported tinnitus from the Covid vaccine and that often shows up in the first 3 days or so, so my money is on the vaccine as the culprit.
Cordially,
Neil
Hi I am 19 years old and have ringing that I can’t stop focusing on for a little over a month now. My ears looked fine and there is no cell damage or hearing loss but I was a little stressed around the time this happened. I hear it mainly when it’s quiet. Do I have a high chance of this getting better.
Hi Taylor:
Yes, there is always a chance your tinnitus will get better–but there are things you can do to increase your chances. First, don’t think of your tinnitus as a threat to your well-being, but as a sound that is totally unimportant and thus safe to ignore. Then ignore it. This means, don’t deliberately listen for it. If you do happen to notice it, just note it and then ignore it–go on with what you were doing. If you focus on it and worry about it, your tinnitus will just get worse.
Cordially,
Neil
For the record, I too got Tinnitus 3 days after taking the booster. JJ has now listed it as a rare adverse side affect but the others have not as of this writing. It’s life debilitating. Report it to VAERS. So far there’s 13,000 reported cases. Maybe someday we will have recourse but big Pharma appears to be protected from lawsuits and even criticism.
Hello, I’ve read people’s posts and I wanted to share my own experience, maybe someone had something similar and managed to resolve it.
My tinnitus started 1 and a half years ago. I was having my vacation on an island at that point. I do not know the reason, maybe it was the dive I did, maybe it was when someone threw water hard in my ear. But for some reason that same day I started hearing a high pitch sound which was annoying. On the usual scale 0-10 of tinnitus I would say it was a 2. I barely noticed it most of the time. Even when I was going to sleep it was only hard for the first month or so, from then on I completely got used to it and didn’t notice it unless it was doing random spikes.
Then two months ago, I wake up in the middle of the night and the sound is terrible. It went from a 2 to 8. I managed to continue my sleep though cause I am an excellent sleeper. But when I woke up I really panicked cause the sound was still there.
For the next few weeks following my experience, I visited every doctor imaginable. I went to multiple ear doctors, neurologists, dentists, jaw specialists, physiotherapists. And the list goes on. No one and I mean no one gave me a satisfying answer. Of course I knew that from previous research I done in tinnitus.
In the meantime I had ups and downs, some days where good were I wouldn’t hear it as much ( but I really can’t say what was different those days aside from my mood was was directly influenced by the sound intensity). And some other days it was terrible, it all depended on how I woke up that day. It’s been 2 months now after trying every medicine and every practice known to man but I still can’t figure it out.
Other symptoms the first few days were dizziness which went away mostly. And noise sensitivity and I apparently lost some of my hearing just a small amount though from my right ear. My tinnitus is only on my right ear. The noise sensitivity and hear loss are still there. One of the possible solutions I found was neck related. Maybe cervical instability is the cause? But whatever is the case some of my days are just terrible with a sound of 8/10. I can’t focus on my work and my studies and also on my everyday life. Social gatherings sometimes are bad for me. other times I feel like I need them. This is not a qualitive life.
Hi Nei,,
I suffer from tinnitus in both ears. I’ve had a mild case of it in my left ear but
after the Covid shots, the right ear
started.
My question is does pounding of water when under shower make tinnitus worse? I thought of that a few minutes ago while in the shower.
Have no tub to use. Is there a shower head that you recommended? Remodeling the entire bathroom is out of the question.
Please help.
Hi Felice:
So many people have found the same thing–that they got tinnitus from taking the Covid shots.
Pounding water can make tinnitus worse in some people. You certainly never want to let a pulsing jet of water squirt into your ears, nor do you want to use the old “full-flow” shower heads as even the spray jets are too strong for safe use in your ears.
The newer (been around for more than 20 or 30 years) reduced-flow shower heads are fine when in the spray (not pulsing) mode. In fact, I let the water from a reduced-flow shower head spray into my ear canals to flush out any wax. I’ve done this every day for several decades without affecting my ears or tinnitus.
If you have an old full-flow shower head, simply unscrew it and replace it with a reduced flow shower head. That’s all you need to change.
Cordially,
Neil
Hello Dr.
I received the Pfizer vaccine on 4/12 and my tinnitus in the left ear started today AM ( 5/1). Can it happen this far out…after 15 days ? Thanks
Hi V:
For sure. Not all side effects of the jab show up in the first two weeks or so, but they can show up much later. 15 days out is still relatively fast for side effects to show up.
Cordially,
Neil
I’m panicking here because I just had a shower and water from the shower head shot directly into my ear.
It’s a regular flow shower head and I’m worried that it may have injured my ears or give me tinnitus.
The affected ear has a bit of an ache, but no ringing sounds at this point.
Is there a chance that this exposure would lead to tinnitus or hearing problems?
Hi Scott:
First off–stop panicking. Anxiety just makes things worse.
Second, give it time–say a week or so–and then evaluate whether you have any untoward symptoms.
Third, anything is possible, but not necessarily is it likely. So calm down and give it some time.
Fourth, why not change the shower head to a low-flow shower head so this can’t happen in the future. It’s so easy to do–just unscrew the existing shower head and screw on the new one. That’s it.
Cordially,
Neil
Thank you, Neil, for putting things into perspective and helping to calm my mind.
I’ve always been overly cautious with my ears and become incredibly worried whenever something untoward happens to them like loud noises or something like this.
Ironically, I think that my anxiety has only exacerbated my symptoms, but it’s not easy to turn off the worrying thoughts sometime.
I’m thinking that I will change the shower head so that there’s one less potential source of anxiety.
Thanks for being so helpful!
Hi Neil,
Some water from the a regular flow shower head hit my ear at an awkward angle yesterday, and my ear now feels sore and is ringing.
Would you say that this is just a short term symptom of irritation of the ear that would go away on its own, or could this tinnitus be permanent?
Thanks!
Hi Matthew:
It is likely to be just short-term. Just don’t expose your ears to loud sounds for a few days and see how things go then. Also, don’t obsess over this. Basically ignore it for a few days and see if it goes away.
Cordially,
Neil
