    So ended up going to get a hearing test, my right ear is perfectly and my left ear is not as bad as i suspected. I have lost some hearing at 3khz but the rest is at normal levels which is lucky. The ringing (tinnitus) could take 6months to go away or never just depends on the individual apparently.

    So all and all not too bad of an outcome and ill be a damn more careful in the future now.
