    Not from listening to music, but from setting up a mic for a discord call while wearing headphones. Picked up feedback directly in my ears for like a 3rd of a second. Permanent ringing now.

      That’s scary if less than a second of sound can cause permanent damage

        Yeah I’m kinda depressed about It still, it was like 2 weeks ago. But there’s not really much to do about it.

        The worst part is I’ve been extremely mindful about my hearing. Always wear hearing protection at concerts, when playing in bands, when using power tools, mowing the lawn. But one slip up and you’re still fucked.

          Did you check with an audiologist afterwards? If you are lucky that problem might get better over time. There’s many types of hearing damage and not all is permanent. Best regards.
