It was linked with outpatient medical databases to obtain diagnoses of hearing loss and tinnitus.

Blast-related ear injuries among U.S. Military personnel. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2013;50(6):XX–XX. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2012.02.0024 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2012.02.0024JSP Results Prevalence of ear injuries: – 30.7%. Most common ear injury diagnoses: – “Inner or middle ear injury involving tinnitus” and tympanic membrane (TM) rupture. Hearing protection reduced odds of ear injury involving tinnitus. Personnel with TM rupture had higher odds of hearing loss and tinnitus outcomes than those without TM rupture.
