Acoustic Trauma
Acoustic trauma is the damage the ear suffers after exposure to a very intense sound, whether suddenly, such as an explosion, or from prolonged loud noise. It affects the structures responsible for capturing sound.
What is usually noticed:
- Ringing or buzzing in the ear
- A feeling of a plugged ear
- Decreased hearing
When to seek care? When these symptoms appear after exposure to loud noise and do not improve, a timely evaluation helps protect hearing.
Who to see? The otolaryngologist is the specialist who evaluates the ear and hearing; the general practitioner or the emergency physician can provide initial care when it occurs acutely. Getting it evaluated in time by the right professional is the best way to protect the ear.
