    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listener_fatigue

    Listener fatigue. Listener fatigue (also known as listening fatigue or ear fatigue) is a phenomenon that occurs after prolonged exposure to an auditory stimulus. Symptoms include tiredness, discomfort, pain, and loss of sensitivity. Listener fatigue is not a clinically recognized state, but is a term used by many professionals.

  3. Acoustic shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_shock

    Acoustic shock. Acoustic shock is the set of symptoms a person may experience after hearing an unexpected, loud sound. The loud sound, called an acoustic incident, can be caused by feedback oscillation, fax tones, or signalling tones. Telemarketers and call centre employees are thought to be most at risk. [1]

  4. Hyperacusis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperacusis

    NoreƱa et al. (2018) propose a model that may account for sound-induced pain and a constellation of other symptoms often experienced after an acoustic shock, acoustic trauma, and potentially other mechanisms of auditory damage. Symptoms may include a sense of fullness in the ear, tinnitus, and dizziness. [7] [8]

  5. Acoustic trauma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_trauma

    Audiology. Acoustic trauma is the sustainment of an injury to the eardrum as a result of a very loud noise. Its scope usually covers loud noises with a short duration, such as an explosion, gunshot or a burst of loud shouting. Quieter sounds that are concentrated in a narrow frequency may also cause damage to specific frequency receptors. [1]

  6. Auditory fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_fatigue

    Auditory fatigue. Auditory fatigue is defined as a temporary loss of hearing after exposure to sound. This results in a temporary shift of the auditory threshold known as a temporary threshold shift (TTS). The damage can become permanent ( permanent threshold shift, PTS) if sufficient recovery time is not allowed before continued sound exposure ...

  7. Sensorineural hearing loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensorineural_hearing_loss

    Sensorineural hearing loss ( SNHL) is a type of hearing loss in which the root cause lies in the inner ear, sensory organ ( cochlea and associated structures), or the vestibulocochlear nerve ( cranial nerve VIII). SNHL accounts for about 90% of reported hearing loss. [citation needed] SNHL is usually permanent and can be mild, moderate, severe ...

  8. Conductive hearing loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductive_hearing_loss

    Conductive hearing loss (CHL) occurs when there is a problem transferring sound waves anywhere along the pathway through the outer ear, tympanic membrane (eardrum), or middle ear ( ossicles ). If a conductive hearing loss occurs in conjunction with a sensorineural hearing loss, it is referred to as a mixed hearing loss.

  9. Health effects from noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_from_noise

    Elevated workplace or environmental noise can cause hearing impairment, tinnitus, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, annoyance, and sleep disturbance. [ 3][ 4] Changes in the immune system and birth defects have been also attributed to noise exposure. [ 5] Although age-related health effects ( presbycusis) occur naturally with age, [ 6] in ...
