i have always loved my ipod and got it a year ago. i used to listen to my ipod on full for about 2-3 hours a day. 5 days a week for a year. but i never had ringing once. ive never been to a concert but i hear that your ears ring when you leave. my ears NEVER rang once when i listened to it. i also had huge over the head earphones. i hate the little earbuds. recently they broke so i got some little in ear earbuds. i listened to them on full for 3 hours a day for 10 days then they burnt out. i also had a bad cold and stuffed nose and coughing weezing etc. later that night about 4 hours after hearing even the slightest sound(exept the fan on my laptop) i was laying down and my right ear rung for half a second. it was about 900hz(the type you get after a gunshot or something. then my right ear had a 17000hz ring. after a day it went into bith my ears(keep in mind i was listening to no music at that time). my cold went away and its about 3 weeks later. the sound is still there. also my ears are sore and when wind blows past them they hurt. i went to my family docter who spent all of 3 minutes to look in my ear and say it all looks fine. he said it wasnt tinnitus. he said that after a cold and the fluid in your ears drains it will still ring for a long time. he said it shoukld be gone in a month. im woried. its not going away. its only been 4 weeks since it first rung. do i have perminent tinnitus? im 16 and dont drink smoke or anything. im a little heavy though 230lbs 6 foot 2 inch. please help!
