A member asked:
Would i have permanent hearing loss. from someone blowing their horn while i stand at a crosswalk. the horn was about 118 decibels 8feet away 4sec ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hearing loss: can be assessed with pure tone audiometry, speech discrimination thresholds and other tests. Inspection of the ear canal and ear drum is a start. You would likely need serial audio metric exams to document a recovery curve or lack of recovery. Permanency is determined objectively on a case to case basis ( I hope you have a quick and full recover)
