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]
Symptoms may include a sense of fullness in the ear, tinnitus, and dizziness. [7] [8] The model details how symptoms may be initiated by tensor tympani muscle damage or overload due to acoustic shock or trauma. Hypercontraction or hyperactivity of the muscle may cause an "ATP energy crisis." The muscle is then forced to create energy without ...

Some of these symptoms are: Irritability "Shutting down," or refusing to participate in activities and interact with others; Over-sensitivity to touch, movement, sights, or sounds
An acoustic signal from a sound source, such as a radio, enters into the external auditory canal (ear canal), and is funneled through to the tympanic membrane (eardrum), causing it to vibrate. The vibration of the tympanic membrane drives the middle ear ossicles , the malleus, incus, and stapes to vibrate in sync with the eardrum.
