I wonder about how that perfection is defined, it is not a valid
statement unless your threshold of hearing before the concert is known.
You could well have had a hearing threshold at -10 dB re 0 dB, which is
after all just an average value and some audiologists love to use the
term "normal" for at least the first 10 dB of threshold shift.

It could also be - it is in fact highly likely - that you measure normal
at 2, 4 and 8 kHz, but have a dip around 6 kHz that corresponds well
with your tinnitus. Generally audiology is designed to make insurance
claims go away rather than to document how things really are.

You will know in 3 days, weeks, months or years, but it could be with
you, all it takes is a guitar sole and the acousitc phenomen called a
diffraction pattern.

My right ear never stopped ringing after a Lou Reed concert in the early
1970'ties, the left was back to normal in a couple of days.

Learn to live it with, if it is still with you after a months time, then
it is not likely to go away any time soon, but it will diminish.

The standard yellow EAR earplug is an excellent rock concert audience
earplug, I have written about how to adapt them to situations where less
attenuation will suffice and simultanousely increase wearers comfort.
Google knows where the post(s) is/are .... I may put it on my website
some day, not gonna retype it just now.

My ENT doctor told me it is never too late to treat T, at least it is
never late to have it cut down significantly.  Do you agree?  Is my ENT
doctor wrong?  He has treated many many many....many T patients to have
said that.

Yes, it WILL go away...and tell yourself that.

Any statictics about tinnitus and loud music (concerts,..)?
How many possibilities to clear it. 20% 50% 80%?

I have not read any statistics on this, nor do i think they exist.  In
my case, it is on and off.  That is to say, sometimes it is there while
sometimes not.  But the most important thing is that even if i make a
deliberate effort to listen to it, it is either not there or there on
very low volume.  But then again, I have personally talked to two
persons whose T is completely cured.

You are better off quitting the AST group.  By going to this ng, you
are constantly reminded you have tinnitus, and it is unhealthy, unless
of course you need an answer from that group of people.

As long as there is sound but no somatic discomfort associated with
your T, i suggest you give your body or that part of your body that
causes T a chance to recover slowly.  You can assist your body to
recover by taking blood vessel dilating medicine.  The latter method is
what the Chinese medical establishment uses.  I personally recommend
med like gingko biloba, and devices such as going to Hot Springs, and
sleep with your neck resting in a wrapped towel, doing away with
napping during daytime, etc..  Remember, even if you do all the right
things, it would still take several months before you discover that T
slowly goes away.  There is no quick fix for T in most people's cases.

Good luck...T is not that horrible.
