If you go to the ER, they may be able to start you on a course of prednisone or similar, which helps lessen damage from acoustic trauma if started within 24 hours.

- joecool1029 9mo agoThanks, I’ll play it safe and head to ER. Others suggested roughly same thing you did that knocking inflammation down may lessen damage and I’d rather take the cautious route to limit potential losses if possible. (as it’s still ringing/hurting)
- joecool1029 8mo agoJust an update, went, had my ear powerwashed as they needed to have it clear to inspect for a perforation, there is none which is good. That leaves it achier than before, still ringing, but they said it should self-resolve mostly and I will follow up with ENT after the storm. I think what I can do to test the earpiece volume in loud env vs quiet is attempt to use an old earpiece microphone (suction cup mic) I have and run the levels directly into a sound card, it won’t give me absolute volume but I can at least compare the levels and see if it warrants further investigation past that.
