Tinnitus and Ear Pain After Loud Music with AirPods Pro

[Headphone Tini]

I have tinnitus, ear fullness, and pain in my right ear after listening to loud music while drunk using my AirPods Pro.

I was hoping it would subside in a couple of days, but it does not seem to be getting better. When I checked the headphone exposure tracker on my iPhone, it showed that I was exposed to 89 dB for 2 hours and 45 minutes. I do use my headphones a lot and spend a significant amount of time on work calls. My total headphone use for the month is 77 dB over 2 days and 12 hours. Over the past 6 months, my exposure has been 69 dB for a total of 15 hours across 23 days.

I went to the doctor today, and she said she could not see any issue with my ears. She advised that it will take time to settle.

I have health anxiety, so I am posting here in the hope that others have had similar experiences and recovered.

This happened to me too , did they check your ears to see if theyre clean?

Yeah, the doctor said there was no wax or infection. Just told me to take it easy and try to relax, avoid loud noises, and so on.

How loud and for how long were you listening with AirPods?
