I don't know how true this is but I remember reading somewhere that when your ears start ringing its actually your hearing going and that's the last time you'll ever hear that exact tone.

I've heard that, but don't know if it's true or not. I do know that I hate when the power goes out because if it is completely and totally silent the ringing in my ears is overpowering to the point of being painful. too many concerts.

Ringing in your ears is tinnitus, and if you want to know what that's like, spend a few days playing drums in a plexiglass booth.
