Hearing loss, dizziness, and bleeding from the ears have been recognized as hazards
associated with industrial exposure to high noise fields underwater (1). Vocational and
avocational scuba diving may damage not only the ear, but also other areas of the head
and neck. Otolaryngologists, occupational physicians, nurses, and other concerned with
occupational hearing disorders should be familiar with scuba diving and its otolaryng-
ologic complications.
