PMID 30249168WHAT IT FOUND
No clinical finding is reported.
The paper proposes a model of acoustic shock symptoms, so it does not change Monday practice.
What this paper is
This is a theoretical review proposing a pathophysiological model for symptoms after an acoustic shock, centered on tensor tympani muscle overuse, middle ear inflammation, trigeminal pathways, and sensitization. It includes no original patient study, methods, or outcomes, so there is no finding to change clinical practice.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read the proposed model as tested evidence for why acoustic shock symptoms occur or for what treatment should be used.
