Brief Answer:
Discomfort is not because of anxiety
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting the query
I have gone through the query thoroughly and understood your problem, I'll try my best to help you with this.
You seem to be having an over-sensitivity to certain frequency and volume ranges of sound. It can be acquired as a result of damage sustained to the hearing apparatus, chiefly in the inner ear.
The present discomfort in the ear is basically due to sudden rapid movement of ear drum for the loud sound and not related to anxiety.
Do not worry! Your problem is not a major one. You need to get audiological investigations done to rule out any hearing loss. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, this will help in rejuvenation of the sensitive inner ear nerves.
Hope this answers your query; I'll be available for the follow up queries.
