A member asked:
So is tinnitus caused by one loud exposure, in my case empty bb gun, more likely to go away over time then not going away at all?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: One loud noise exposure from a gun is enough to cause tinnitus. It may resolve but there is no way of knowing. Also determine if you have developed a high frequency hearing loss.
