My ears are ringing!

[Junior]

Does Chinese have a phrase to express "My ears are ringing". (for example after a prolonged loud noise like strings of firecrackers)?

Also, what is the character and pinyin for the sounds made by crackers (like 'bang!' in English)?

[mythia]

“耳朵嗡嗡的响” （er duo weng weng de xiang）或者“嗡嗡作响” could be what you are looking for to express your ears are ringing.

You mean Christmas crackers? It's 啪 (pa) the first tone.

Thanks Mythia!!

I mean 鞭炮. Is that also the 啪 sound?

You're welcome. Glad you find it helpful.

噼里啪啦 (pi li pa la) and some variation are used, such as: 噼噼啪啪 (pi pi pa pa); 噼哩叭啦 (pi li pa la); 噼啪 (pi pa)... see, you can even have your own version.

that must be 震耳欲聋 pinyin(zhen er yu long)

We can say "耳鸣（ěr míng）" meaning "my ears are ringing."

[jinhr]

“耳鸣” is a medical symptom (Tinnitus). In daily life, we normally say“嗡嗡作响”
