The answer to why your ears ring after you have attended a concert is simple; you have damaged your ears by subjecting yourself to the loud music and the screams of the audience. When exposed to loud noises, the hair cells in the inner ear become damaged causing the ringing sound. Those hair cells produce nerve signals that travel to the auditory area of the brain where sound is heard. Normally, these cells only fire when they are stimulated by a sound. Unfortunately, when the cells have experienced trauma, they fire on their own causing the ringing in the ear.

Once you have gotten the ringing in your ears from a concert, there really is no way to cure it. The only thing you can do is live with it until it goes away. Normally the hair cells in the inner ear will heal themselves but it is possible for them to break off entirely causing permanent damage to your hearing. Rarely do people experience permanent ear damage from attending concerts. It normally takes extended exposure to loud noises to bring out tinnitus symptoms.
