Many ear injuries happen in the following accidents:

• Workplace accidents, explosions or exceptionally loud noise, and repetitive noises,
• Car accidents and truck accidents where an airbag explodes or the head is slammed against a hard surface.

Actually any number of types of accident can end up in an ear injury. An ear injury lawyer at our firm will represent a person suffering from all manner of ear trauma including:

• BPPV- occurs when the otoconia in the ear is dislodged into the brain or ear canal. This usually comes from a serious head injury. BPPV is also referred to as ear rocks and can result in vertigo episodes, dizziness, lightheadedness, loss of balance and vision, blurred vision, light sensitivity, nausea and vomiting. Sufferers will often have trouble driving, working, and living a normal life.
• Hearing loss - There are two types of hearing loss; conductive hearing loss caused by a problem in the external or middle ear and; sensor neural hearing loss caused by a problem in the inner ear
• Tinnitus - the sensation of sound, often a ringing or high pitched squeal, when there is no sound present. It occurs when the hair cells called cilia and the inner ear is damaged, often by a heavy blow to the head or ear. An air bag explosion is often the reason for tinnitus.
