Can just one loud rock concert damage your ears?
Question:
Answers:
Unlikely to have done permanent damage but definately worth having them checked out. Hopefully you are just suffering short term effects.
There is a guy recorded in the Darwin awards who died as a result of noise level from a rock concert - But he was too mean to buy a ticket and hid INSIDE a speaker!

probably
oh yess, it could damage your ears
You could have left the joint.
My friend used to work at a concert hall. One day after a Black Sabbath concert, the walls of the auditorium showed signs of cracking, I am not joking! Just imagine what damage that must have done not only to people's ears, it must have messed with their heads too!
have them checked tomorrow. ear drums might have been affected. go to gp and they'll check. may even suggest a hearing test. good luck and i hope they ok

It is possible they are damaged for good.
It is possible, go to a doctor tomorrow and have him check it out. It the mean time relax and don't listen to anymore loud music. Personally, I would think it's just temporary but I can't see your ears and I wasn't at the concert to know how loud things really were, in the future: listen to what your body is telling you and leave the stimulus (in this case music/bar) that is causing the pain/discomfort.
not likely, unless you stood beside the speakers all night

How Loud is Too Loud? Experts agree that continued exposure to noise above 85 dBA over time, will cause hearing loss. To know if a sound is loud enough to damage your ears, it is important to know both the loudness level (measured in decibels, dBA) and the length of exposure to the sound. In general, the louder the noise, the less time required before hearing loss will occur. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (1998), the maximum exposure time at 85 dBA is 8 hours. At 110 dBA, the maximum exposure time is one minute and 29 seconds. If you must be exposed to noise, it is recommended that you limit the exposure time and/or wear hearing protection.
110 -120 rock concert
So, your answer is, yes, you could damage your hearing. Have you damaged yours? The only true test would be to have a hearing test by a trained professional.

You might have damage your ears but to make sure I would go see a doctor ASAP before it get worse.
They'll recover in the next few days, but if you continue to go to these concerts, you could permanently damage them. Try Bach next time.
Yes, you have done some permanant damage, but not to the extent you think. Your hearing will recover.
The three bones vibrating in the middle ear get smoother as we age eventually causing hearing loss. You gave them a little bit of premature wear in the bar. They will never regrow the bone you wore off, but you aren't going to go deaf because of one exposure. Just be a little bit more careful. The damage is cumulative.
Hopefully it isn't permanent. Usually damage like that occurs over a period of time and takes years to show up. Good luck and take better care of yourself. Maybe bring ear plugs next time. You will still be able to hear music, but it won't mess up ear drums.
