Hello everyone. Today I've been listening to some music, like I usually do, but a few minutes ago started a little weird pain in my ears, like the pain I feel after a concert. I mean, I didn't listen the music so loud, but I listened at a normal volume, as I always do, so I do not know which is the cause of pain. If you could help me, have you feel this pain after listening to music? Can you recommend something to stop feeling this pain. Thanks a lot

Go visit an ear doctor to have it checked up. I have experienced that too especially when I used earplugs to listen to music in my iPod. The music was not loud too. I went to an ear doctor to have my ears checked. I turned out I had ear infection. Until now I have medication for my ears. That's what I can suggest to you.

So may I have an infection too. That's horrible! I don't know, I think I'll visit a doctor, but maybe he'd tell me not to use earbuds! and I really appreciate listening to music.

maybe you have an ear problem and the best solution is for you to have it check up by a doctor specialized in that matter, if the volume is just normal it must have been a co incident that your listening music when you feel the pain

Thanks for your response. I'll visit a doctor if I continue having these type of problems with my ears.

I have felt pain like this in my ears before after listening to music. My ears have also felt like they were still vibrating after listening to music. I think that it is from listening for a long period of time and it being in such close contact to the eardrum. Usually after about thirty minutes of listening to music with earbuds, my ears begin hurting and that is when I know that I have listened to long. I would suggest cutting back on how long you listen for and see if that helps. After listening try finding an activity that doesn't involve continued stimulation of the ear drums, like sitting in a quiet room and reading. Hope that was helpful. Good luck.

Thanks a lot. That's what I usually do when I can't listen to my music, I go to my room where I can read any interesting novel or tale. Maybe I'll stop using earbuds as I know they can produce deafness, because I use them more than an hour daily.
