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]
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is used as a second line measure to treat tennis elbow, [9] [10] [11] shoulder rotator cuff pain, [12] [13] Achilles tendinitis, [14] [15] plantar fasciitis, [16] [17] and greater trochanteric pain syndrome. [18] ESWT is also used to promote bone healing and treat bone necrosis. [19]
The most common cause of hyperacusis is overexposure to excessively high decibel (sound pressure) levels, which can cause acoustic trauma. [1] An acoustic shock , which can lead to symptoms such as hyperacusis and ear pain, can also occur after exposure to an unexpected moderately loud to loud noise, even if this does not necessarily result in ...
Tonic tensor tympani syndrome is a disease of the tensor tympani muscle, described by Klochoff et al. in 1971. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The tensor tympani muscle is one of the two middle ear muscles that support the three middle ear bones, called the ossicles .
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.
Switching it every eight hours may NOT be enough to prevent Toxic Shock Syndrome.
Vibroacoustic disease is a medical condition manifested in those who have had long-term exposure (≥ 10 yr) to large pressure amplitude (≥ 90 dB SPL) and low frequency noise (≤ 500 Hz). [1] The disease could lead to heart arrhythmia or even death.
Hans Selye was the first to coin the term "general adaptation syndrome" to suggest that stress-induced physiological responses proceed through the stages of alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. [ 7 ] The sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system gives rise to a specific set of physiological responses to physical or psychological stress.
