Hi. Few nights ago I was on the street and I’ve heard terrible noise caused by gunshot. I think my hearing is damaged because of this. I’ve heard about disease called NIHL and I want to know are there different types of NIHL especially interested in one that I had.

There are two types of hearing damage that can occur from noise: NIHL caused by acoustic trauma and gradually developing NIHL. NIHL caused by acoustic trauma commonly results from exposure to high-intensity sounds such as explosions, gunfire, and firecrackers. Gradually developing NIHL is a gradual hearing loss that results from chronic loud noise exposure. NIHL is the leading occupational disorder.
