Answers:
That ringing in your ears is called tinnitus, it commonly occurs after noise exposure, and it often becomes permanent.
Loud noise can be dangerous. If it is loud enough and lasts long enough, it can damage your hearing.
If you notice a ringing or other sound in your ear, or if you have trouble understanding what people say; (they may seem to be mumbling, especially when you are in a noisy place such as in a crowd or at a party). This could be the beginning of high-frequency hearing loss; a hearing test will detect it.
If you suspect a hearing loss, consult a physician with special training in ear care and hearing disorders.
