Yes, me and yes it will settle down again.

Don't forget too that just the fear of the T increasing (the disco, the
noisy people etc.) makes you focus on it more as you start to wonder if it
really did get worse or not. It could therefore just be that it is not
really worse at all, only you think it is.

You'll be fine. Self-moulded earplugs can also help on such occasions,
although talking with them in can be a pain in the proverbials.

(1)The noise in your ear could well take place at a time when you
happened to go to a party.  That is to say, the relationship between
your ear noise and your party may 'not' be a cause and effect
relationship.
(2)Go and see a doctor right away!  Don't allow your t to get old.  I
have *personally* met 2 persons whose t was 'cured' because they went
for treatment as soon as they discovered it.
(3)most doctors don't know how to treat T.  That is true!  You may
have to waste a lot of time and money before finding out one that
knows how to treat T. So you might as well take my advice to see
Murray here in this ng.  He is licensed, he has been here for quite
some time, and above all, he has been invited by China to give
lectures.  Anyone who has been invited by the Chinese academic circle
to go over there and give lecture could not be that bad. Once again,
the market demand tells you that he is in demand.  He does not need to
go through any 'double-blind' study to prove himself.

Do what I said.  You will not regret it.

==========================

No, your increase is not permanent. But it sure scares the bejesus out
of you, doesn't it? The first time I went to someplace really loud
after my T started and then I found it had increased I was really
scared. But it settled down to the quite hiss it is right now again
eventually. Nonetheless, I still avoid really loud places like the
plague, wear ear plugs when I cut the grass, etc. I don't want it any
louder than it has to be.
