title: [Major acoustic injuries caused by firearms].
abstract: The appearance of new generations of firearms, very harmful for the hearing of the shooter, suggested the need for an updated review of data concerning detonations and their effect on hearing. Emphasis is given to the place of acoustic injuries among traumatic pressure-induced otopathies as well as the value and efficacy of current therapeutic measures.
