ACOUSTIC TRAUMA: Acoustic trauma occurs when excessive sound energy strikes the inner ear and damages the hair cells. If it is brief, the noise may cause a reversible, temporary hearing loss or threshold shift. After such trauma, it is common to experience hearing dullness and ringing in the ears for several hours. If symptoms persist beyond several days, oral corticosteroids may help the inner recover. See an ENT
