Shotgun wound image[edit]

I removed the shotgun wound image from the infobox: a "shotgun blast injury" is not the same thing as an actual blast injury. It's a gunshot wound, not the result of an exposure to an explosion. Kolbasz (talk) 17:01, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Section on Auditory Damage[edit]

Hi All,

I would like to add a section on the effects of blast exposure on the auditory system. As a rising audiologist, this is a critical topic to discuss as many troops today are being treated in the VA system for such injuries. I have a number of review articles that I will select information from:

 1). Pfannenstiel, T. (2014). Noise-induced hearing loss: a military perspective. Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head & Neck 
          Surgery, 22(5), 384-387. doi: 10.1097/MOO.0000000000000083
 2). Gallun, F., Lewis, S., Folmer, R., Diedesch, A, Kubli, L., McDermott, D., ... & Leek, M. (2012). Implications of blast exposure 
          for central auditory function: a review. Journal of Rehabilitation Research and Development, 49(7), 1059-1074. doi: 
          10.1682/JRRD.2010.09.0166
 3). Choi. (2012). Mechanisms and treatment of blast induced hearing loss. Korean Journal of Audiology,16(3),103-107. doi:

My initial thought was to add the section under "primary blast injuries" but I am also thinking about having the addition as its own section after the "Neurotrauma" section. Please let me know what you think. Carla.White (talk) 21:39, 21 October 2017 (UTC)Carla.White[reply]
