Can High Noise Level Damage The Ear Hair?

i was cleaning my ears with a q tip when I noticed that there were a lot of very small hairs coming out of my ear. I am a sound engineer and was exposed to very high SPL's the night before. Could these be hairs that were damaged by the noise levels or are the hairs that can be damaged by high sound levels further inside my ear canal and/or too small to see with the naked eye?
