Experiences of tinnitus are very common in all age groups, especially following exposure to loud noise, however, it is unusual for it to be a major problem. There is a widely held misconception that tinnitus is confined to the elderly, but various studies have shown that it can occur at any age, even quite young children. Mild tinnitus is common - about 10 per cent of the population have it all the time.

Many people say that they notice tinnitus less when they are doing something. Keeping your mind occupied helps (but don't overdo things). If the noises seem louder at quiet times, particularly during the night, it may help to have soothing music or some other environmental or natural sound quietly on in the background. Practising relaxation and taking time out for yourself can also be a great help.

Got it in my left ear after standing 2 feet away from the amps at a Fear Factory gig a few year ago.

Annying at times, but it's only noticable in silence, it was very loud for about 3 weeks after the event though.

Avoid aspirin and such before concerts as it acerbates this condition.
