Is my ear-ringing or tinnitus related to harmful noise?

We may have experienced ringing in the ears after attending Loud concert or hearing loud noise.

Loud noise can cause hearing loss, which in turn causes ear-ringing, i.e. tinnitus.    

Typically, tinnitus is a ringing, hissing, roaring, buzzing, or clicking sound in ears or head, even when there is actually no external noise.

50 million Americans have tinnitus. About 2 to 4 million are severe and usually feel difficult to hear, work, or sleep. 

Tinnitus may continue constantly throughout a lifetime. Tinnitus will feel more painful if loud noise happens.
