Doctor right away. There is a chance the doctor can't do much, but to keep from having more problems he should go right away.

EEK! I did  that at a concert when I was young. I think the worst of it was over in 2 days, but my ears had a slight ring for quite a long time after that.  Chances are you've done some permanent damage. You might want to go get a hearing test at a Ear/Nose/Throat doctor.

It could be several things including concussion, internal injuries, infection.  Get him to doctor/hospital.

It may just be a phase he's going thru.  Just don't make a big deal out of it and maybe he will stop.  If not, then maybe his hearing is sensative.  Take him to a specialist.  Hope that helps you.

This is definately NOT a normal situation.He better see a doctor, it could be something  serious that should be nipped in the bud pronto.

You probably need to purchase a new sound card. Same thing happened with my PC, had a power outage and had to replace sound card because it got fried somehow. Usually a decent sound card for just playing music and sound, nothing fancy like bass, DJing, is $30-50.

It can permanently damage your hearing if you listen to very loud music.  If your ears are ringing afterwards, you should tone it down a little.

He had a rare otic nerve degeneration.  When he was on the air during that time, you could definitely tell his pitch was off and he was a little confused sometimes...of course maybe he was stoned then too.  \n\nI haven't really been keeping track but I thought a few years back he had an implant surgically performed and it improved the condition greatly.  The last I listened it did not seem to be a problem at all.

Sorry to tell you this, but I bet your eardrums are just fine. Noise-induced hearing loss is permanent due to nerve damage in the cochlea. Prevent further damage by turning down the volume. If you can feel the bass, it's too loud. Stop using your ipod or walkman, and wear earplugs if you go to a concert or work in a noisy environment. You will still be able to hear the music at a concert if you do this, as well as prevent further damage.

A jet engine is around 120db from 25 meters away, sorry i don't know conversion for miles.  I used to have a car stereo for competition and it would produce 152.4db if thats any help.  The bass can travel easily the distance you are talking about.  Permanent hearing loss starts at 90db so its most likely even with hearing protection he will still go deaf as he practically is sitting in a speaker box.  As for the volume going up its probably because he is already going deaf so has to turn it up, and on cold days when the air is more dense it will actually be up to an extra 3db louder, and also depending on wind direction.  Does this help?, in aus you can be fined for excessive car stereo noise! and even have your car confiscated!

Go to the doctor.  It could be an infection and with tubes that can cause deafness.  Hope you feel better soon.

Could be a case of swimmers ear or a fungal infection of some type.  See your doctor to make sure and get treatment.  I know how bothersome this is.

Either go to the doctor or have a friend carefully use tweezers to get it out ONLY if they can see the cotton close to the ear canal opening.  NEVER go further than that.

Another way that may work is go into your control panel, then into sound options, From there mute your microphone. It will still work but you will not hear what's going in and probably not the buzz.

ringing in the ear can be caused by many things and the best way to treat it is to first find out what is causing the problem.  this requires extensive testing done by someone with experience and education.  there are some drugs but the etiology would need to be confirmed before drug treatment can be attempted.  There is nothing so new and revolutionary that i have heard or read about.  You still need to get a profesional opinion on this one.
