Ya, in either 1980 or 1981. It was a really brutal venue for a band like AC/DC. I'm surprised they didn't blow the roof off that old tin can.

Now my ears are ringing, moreso in my left. Now I am terrified to think I have significantly damaged my hearing.

Do people who go to concerts like that normally turn out OK? I am frightened.
Good reason to be frightened about this. There are many people from the '60s who are suffering with hearing loss now because they attended rock concerts or played in bands with very loud music. I'd also be nervous about using headphones at the volumes I hear some folks using these days. Call me an old fuddy-duddy if you want, but I know people who are having troubles now.

Enjoy the ringing - that is your hair cells singing goodbye to you....

But you should recover.
