My left ear has been ringing for three days straight, cause for concern?
I went dancing at a club last Thursday night. The music didn't seem louder than it usually is at such places, but I noticed a ringing in my left ear as I was leaving. I woke up Friday with it still there--this follows for Saturday and now today. Should I be worried? Anything in particular I should do? Or should I just let it pass? Thanks, guys.

Have your hearing checked, you may have suffered some tone deafness. My Dad can no longer hear high whines from machinery because "in the good old days" they didn't use hearing protection in factories and he is now tone deaf.

At this moment when you see what generate tinnitus, how can you heal it? In the unavailability of an confirmed treatment, medication procedures should contain not only adjusting to the sensation of regular noise, but also learning to live with the various adverse consequences that may be correlated with the complication.

2) Limbic system, that is responsible for emotions and some memory procedures, and
3) Autonomic nervous system, which is in charge the tension and recreation feedback.

If you were at a club Thursday, the ringing is actually quite normal. However, if it is still there after a week, then yes, you should go to a doctor to make sure there are no blockages in the inner ear. Take it from someone who has been known to party from time to time.

Yes, it is cause for concern it is most likely a perforated eardrum, or an ear infection, you should see an otolaryngiolist, a.k.a. an ear,nose, & throat doctor. If left untreated, it could cause a bad infection and hearing loss.

I would imagine you have Tinnitus. Here is a brief sypnosis:
Most tinnitus comes from damage to the microscopic endings of the hearing nerve in the inner ear. The health of these nerve endings is important for acute hearing, and injury to them brings on hearing loss and often tinnitus. If you are older, advancing age is generally accompanied by a certain amount of hearing nerve impairment and tinnitus. If you are younger, exposure to loud noise is probably the leading cause of tinnitus, and often damages hearing as well.
There are many causes for "subjective tinnitus," the noise only you can hear. Some causes are not serious (a small plug of wax in the ear canal might cause temporary tinnitus). Tinnitus can also be a symptom of stiffening of the middle ear bones (otosclerosis).
Tinnitus may also be caused by allergy, high or low blood pressure (blood circulation problems), a tumor, diabetes, thyroid problems, injury to the head or neck, and a variety of other causes including medications such as anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, sedatives, antidepressants, and aspirin. If you take aspirin and your ears ring, talk to your doctor about dosage in relation to your size.
Treatment will be quite different in each case of tinnitus. It is important to see an otolaryngologist to investigate the cause of your tinnitus so that the best treatment can be determined.
Tinnitus Treatment
In most cases, there is no specific treatment for ear and head noise. If your otolaryngologist finds a specific cause of your tinnitus, he or she may be able to eliminate the noise. But, this determination may require extensive testing including X-rays, balance tests, and laboratory work. However, most causes cannot be identified. Occasionally, medicine may help the noise. The medications used are varied, and several may be tried to see if they help.
The following list of DOs and DON'Ts can help lessen the severity of tinnitus:
Avoid exposure to loud sounds and noises.
Get your blood pressure checked. If it is high, get your doctor's help to control it.
Decrease your intake of salt. Salt impairs blood circulation.
Avoid stimulants such as coffee, tea, cola, and tobacco.
Exercise daily to improve your circulation.
Get adequate rest and avoid fatigue.
Stop worrying about the noise. Recognize your head noise as an annoyance and learn to ignore it as much as possible.

It is called Tinnitis.....ringing in the ears. Stay out of those clubs. Give it a few more days and if it is not better, go to the doctor.

I would go in and have it looked at to make sure you didn't rupture your ear drum. If you did, ear drops and steroids may be advised.
I would be worried, as it is your hearing!
Just have a doc take a look at it.

YES, You may have hurt your tympanic membrane (your eardrum). It could have a tear or a hole in it because of the vibrations from the club. You should see a doctor because it could result in an ear infection or partial deafness.
