A member asked:
A fire cracker went off inside during a play. 3rd row back. very loud but did not notice ringing or issues at the time. any permanent hearing damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hearing loss: It is unclear from your question if there is hearing loss after the firecracker exploded. A single firecracker should not cause permanent hearing loss or prolonged tinnitus. If there are persistent symptoms, see an otolaryngologist (ENT) physician for an audiogram and treatment.
