This can also happen when holding your upset child and they scream near your ear. Be careful, parents!


I can attest to that, my newborn at the time screamed into my ear unexpectedly loud and my hearing was affected for a few days.


Yup have occasional tinnitus in my left ear from one of my children screaming in it while I was holding them.


Never got tinnitus from it but it does make me lose balance fast.


I have the balance problem, too. A hearing specialist suggested that one of the bones in my ear was made of a spongy material rather than bone, which can cause it.
