Exposure to blast shock waves via the ear canal induces deficits in vestibular afferent function in rats

The ears are air-filled structures that are directly impacted during blast exposure. In addition to hearing loss and tinnitus, blast victims often complain of vertigo, dizziness and unsteady posture, suggesting that blast exposure induces damage to the vestibular end organs in the inner ear. However...
