Speed bumps as a cause of hearing loss.


Have any members driven over a "speed bump" (these are the elevated paved bumps to force you to drive slower)while listening to the car stereo and immediately noticed a hearing loss(distortion, high frequency loss and level decrease)? I am a chiropractor and can verify the fact that speed bumps will absolutely mis-align the tiny bones in the ear so music sounds terrible afterwards, write your city councilman about these. I have to slow to less than 5mph in order to prevent this governmental assault and battery.

I am not sure if this is a joke, but as someone who deals with ear problems regularly, I have never heard of such a minor trauma causing dissociation of the middle ear ossicles. This type of problem is seen with HIGH IMPACT head trauma and the hearing loss imparted is signifigant and attempted repair is surgical.
Slow down.

Has anyone ever been to a chiropractor and been told they are fine, come back in 6 months?

I am not an MD (although I do train them) but it is my background in anatomy, physiology and neuroscience that moved me to ask for any evidence for this heretofore unknown phenomenon.
