    AbstractHearing loss from airbag deployment after motor vehicle crashes has been documented multiple times in the adult population, but rarely in the pediatric population. We report a case of significant sensorineural hearing loss following airbag deployment in a pediatric patient who presented to the ED on the day of the crash. This report highlights the need for pediatric physicians to be aware of the potential of minor to significant hearing loss in patients who present for medical evaluation after airbag deployment in motor vehicle crashes and to be aware of the importance of follow-up in these children.
