My hearing is ringing after an explosion went off near me. will i be okay?

Tinnitus: Would go to your doctor and be checked to see if there was perforation of the ear drum from the explosion., they can also check your hearing. Most resolve but, avoid ASA NSAIDS as that may exacerbate the situation now. Sometimes steroids can help http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22109762

Deoends: Such a blunt trauma to the ear is harmful. The ringing may never go away and if the tympanic membrane was injured or ruptured your hearing may be permanently damaged

Usually resolves: This is called tinnitus and usually resolves with time. If it has not resolved in a few weeks see your doctor for a referral to an ear specialist.

Loud noises: Acute or chronic loud noise can result in high frequency sensorineural hearing loss. The ringing is part of this. Best you see an otolaryngologist and get evaluated.

Possible damage.: Any really loud noise can damage the very delicate structures in the inner ear. Unfortunately there is no reliable way to reverse what has happened. The ringing you describe is definitely a sign that there has probably been some trauma but there will be improvement over the next few weeks/months. The extent of the damage can be assessed later with audiologic testing.

Be seen: Your recovery will be based in part on the specific amount of damage that was done. I would be seen and examined just to make sure that you did not perforate your ear drum, which might not get better without intervention.

Hearing Loss: Ringing in your ears after the explosion may represent damage to one or multiple structures of your ear. They can range from the eardrum, the small bones of the ear, to more internal cochlea. I recommend you seek the evaluation of an ENT physician and a hearing test.
