Acute acoustic trauma (AAT) may result from a single, intense impulse noise, or from brief exposure to strong noise. Ringing in the ear in consequence of noise exposure is the first alarm indicating that the tolerance of the inner ear has been exceeded. The ringing will be accompanied by hearing impairment, stuffiness and blocking. Other symptoms may also appear. The symptoms disappear in most people after the cessation of noise, but in some the symptoms remain persistent or permanent. Treatment options are limited.
