Ever since 2 days ago my ears have been
ringing constantly. I know the first
impression would be to think that I have
lead a life of loud music and hard rock
concert, but that's not really the case.
All I did was go to the club (I go about
once a month or so) for a few hours and
when I walked outside both my ears were
ringing. Okay...not too bad I know that
can happen. It got a little better and by
next morning and it was improved but still
definitely noticeable. Fortunately the
ringing doesn't happen in my right ear
anymore, but my left ear still rings
non-stop and hasn't improved at all since
yesterday. I'm very worried that this
could be permanent or it won't go away. I
have extremely sensitive ears and a lot of
loud sounds that are fine for other people
hurt my ears (although this is the first
time my ears have been noticeably ringing)
so I'm worried that my overly sensitive
ears might have come into play for some
reason. I asked everyone else at the club
who was with me if their ears were
ringing, and they all said no :/ Should I
see a doctor or just ride it out for a
couple days and hope it gets better?

Sounds like Tinnitus -
Tinnitus can be perceived in one or both
ears or in the head. It is usually
described as a ringing noise, but in some
patients it takes the form of a high
pitched whining, buzzing, hissing,
humming, or whistling sound, or as
ticking, clicking, roaring, "crickets" or
"locusts", tunes, songs, or beeping.[3] It
has also been described as a "whooshing"
sound, as of wind or waves.[4]
Tinnitus is not itself a disease but a
symptom resulting from a range of
underlying causes, including ear
infections, foreign objects or wax in the
ear, and injury from loud noises. Tinnitus
is also a side-effect of some oral
medications, such as aspirin, and may also
result from an abnormally low level of
serotonin activity.
From Wiki... I would go to the doctor to
see if there is anything you can do
