You seem to have had inner ear acoustic trauma due to loud sound which may have caused tinnitus. You may need to undergo detailed audiological evaluation to confirm the diagnosis. Urgent treatment may be necessary to avoid permanent deficits

Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
