What is tinnitus?
Temporary hearing damage occurs, for example, when you experience a ringing in your ears or a hissing sound after a concert.
Your brain has processed too much sound and starts producing its own noise. At least, that’s how it seems, because you are the only one who hears it.

The medical term for this is tinnitus. In the nightlife world, it is sometimes called “ringing stress.” Temporary hearing damage can also be recognized if even a small sound feels painful, which is called hyperacusis.
