Hearing loss due to noise trauma.
Three different types of noise-induced hearing loss have been reported in the literature. The two less common types are described here. Three cases of these two types from our clinic are reported. Since these 2 types of noise-induced hearing loss often involve low frequencies it is important to recognize them in compensation cases.
