Abstract EN
Deployment of the air bag in a passenger vehicle accident rarely causes otologic injuries.
However, sensorineural hearing loss induced by air bag deployment is extremely rare, with only a few cases reported in the English literature.
A 38-year-old man involved in a traffic accident while driving his car at 40 km/hour presented with right sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus, without associated vertigo.
Pure-tone audiometry demonstrated elevated thresholds of 30 dB and 25 dB at 4 kHz and 8 kHz, respectively, on the right side.
Air bag deployment in car accidents is associated with the risk of development of sensorineural hearing loss.
