Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tinnitus is a ringing or buzzing sensation in the ears that can occur after exposure to loud noise or music. In this scenario, the three-hour Metallica concert with five encores could definitely be considered a loud noise exposure that could cause temporary tinnitus. Agnosia refers to the inability to recognize familiar objects or people, and is not related to hearing. The temporary stimulation effect and conductive hearing loss are also not accurate descriptions of the symptoms described in this scenario.
