Blunt neck trauma, such as whiplash, can cause hearing loss. This study found that over 80% of injured patients experienced acoustic trauma-like hearing impairment, with some showing significant speech frequency loss.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Audiology

Background:

  • Blunt neck trauma is a common injury, often associated with whiplash.
  • Hearing impairment is not typically considered a primary consequence of neck trauma.

Observation:

  • This study reviewed audiometric findings in 83 patients following blunt neck trauma.
  • Hearing tests were conducted within 3 months and again 6-12 months post-injury.

Findings:

  • 12% of ears had normal hearing; 81.3% showed acoustic trauma-like hearing impairment.
  • 4.8% of ears had hearing loss of at least 30 dB in speech frequencies.
  • 55.4% of subjects reported tinnitus post-trauma.

Implications:

  • Blunt neck trauma can lead to objectively measurable hearing impairment.

  • Audiological assessment should be considered in patients with blunt neck trauma.
  • Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms and long-term effects.
