I've had something similar happen to me, I panicked, lost my sleep for days and went to 2 different doctors for the tinnitus that developed after. What I've learned is that panicking will aggravate the condition A LOT. In practically every case, your ears will slowly and gradually heal. It might never go back exactly to where it was before the incident, but that is just something you will have to accept. Go to the doctor if you want to, but if you give it time, it will improve. In the meantime, if you can stand wearing earplugs pretty much all the time you can surely stand not wearing them too.

One thing is for sure, the more you focus on what you are not hearing, the less you will hear.
