Help a nerd who doesn't get out much, Pt. 2

[prog]

I enjoyed the concert, though it was very loud and the acoustics were terrible.

Twelve hours and a solid sleep later, my ears are still ringing, and I have a physical sensation of cotton lodged into both of them. Is this... should I be worried? I don't know.

A friend who goes to many concerts tells me that, doy, they sell earplugs at the bar, you know, and everyone who isn't dumb wears them. I didn't know this. I don't know anything!! I am a nerd who doesn't get out much.

Seriously though, I'm starting to get a little concerned about this.

I have moderate, progressive, congenital hearing loss and on my doc's advice I carry earplugs with me at all times, and always put 'em in in noisy situations, especially concerts. A one-time exposure like this is not a huge deal and the cotton-wool feeling and ringing should subside in a few days at most, but it's worth being cautious in future.
