Permanent bilateral acoustic trauma due to air bag deployment in a young female adult
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 March 2006
Abstract
Air bag safety systems have significantly reduced the number of occupant injuries from road traffic accidents (RTA). However air bag deployment is also associated with unavoidable risks.
We report the acoustic trauma incurred by a young female driver who was a heavy smoker as a consequence of air-bag deployment in a low speed RTA and the sparing of her child seated in the rear.
