I went shooting on 8/18/09. I did not wear any hearing protection and my left ear is still ringing. Over the last day or so the pitch seems to be getting higher. is this going to be a problem for the rest of my life?

I went to see Tim McGraw last night. I expected loud music of course but not this kind of loss. It took over a week for my hearing to return to normal after Kenny Chesney! I wished I had taken ear plugs.

I'm used to the muffling sound and the ears ringing. What bothers me is the pitch or tone that I can't hear this morning. The phone even sounds "squeaky" if that makes sense. When do you go to the doctor?
