Just 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.
