Last week Thursday I went to a shooting range to help someone zero in their Rifle. While I did use ear protection plugs one fell out of my left ear while shots (LouD) were being fired. It must have been sometime.

I did not notice any ringing , roaring noise at the time I did after leaving and riding back home in the car. The ringing is still occurring in my one ear (left). I am on vacation should I go immediate to visit a otolaryngologist or wait till I get home March 15th?.

I am not in any pain that the anoying ringing sound. I am concerned that I an the condition of Tinnitus. Will my hearing return after the ringing stops? Could I have damaged the ear drum and or hair cells?

I think at this time my hearing in left ear has been reduced to about 70 dBHL

Please advise    Thanks
