In response to Pam's situation. In all probability, the noise did 
cause some hearing loss. Exposure to sound is well documented. 
The fact that someone didn't have the same damage doesn't mean 
there isn't a causal relationship. There are various factors to be 
considered, such as duration of exposure, decibels of exposure 
over time, condition of hearing prior to exposure to the noise etc. 
The lack of an effect is only significant if there are large 
substantiated numbers for similar conditions and effects.
