Hi,

If it is air bag-induced sensorineural hearing loss means you can't do anything just we can treat the pain only.

Pain relieved by painkiller medication, also check for middle ear Infection or ossicles rupture etc.

The complete distribution of ossicles or middle ear by gentamicin or nerve block may be useful to relieve pain. Please consult your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
