Areas of Expertise
Bringing Decades of Audiology Expertise to Court and Clinic
For decades, Dr. Colucci has served as a leading expert in audiology, applying his knowledge across clinical, forensic, military, and industrial settings.
Blunt Force Head and Neck Injuries
Common areas of injury from assault, falls, equipment accidents, and crashes are known to cause audiovestibular disorders. Many times, these are connected with a concussion, with or without loss of consciousness, and potentially result in traumatic brain injury.
Product Liability/Injury
As a case-specific expert in the largest mass tort case in US history, 3M CAEv2 Combat Arms Earplugs, I have specific knowledge and an understanding of product design issues, measurement, injury analysis, OSHA, FDA, other expert opinions, and federal proceedings.
Malpractice
The occurrence of a provider's wrongdoing that results in patient injury comes from not following best practices, provider misconduct, or unintentional errors. These include misfitting of hearing aids, fraudulent sales practices, overexposure during testing, not recommending hearing protection during firearms use, not screening for medical conditions, or traumatizing ears with equipment such as an MRI.
Industrial / Military / Occupational Noise
In petroleum, nuclear power, the military, and industrial plants, noise exposure is to be expected, and employees and contractors are to be protected. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations have clear guidelines and best practices to avoid hearing loss and tinnitus. Properly fitted hearing protection devices, administrative controls, and engineering modifications can prevent injury in most cases.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
As a result of a crash, acoustic trauma from airbag deployment, a whiplash injury, or trauma to the head can occur. Fortunately, recovery occurs for many, but in some cases, permanent residual sequelae can be the outcome, and a host of healthcare needs can follow to treat the complaints.
Acoustic Trauma and Blast Injury
In large-scale crash scenes, industrial and environmental explosions, IED blasts, underwater detonations, vape pen explosions, firearms exposure, and more, hearing can be damaged, tinnitus and hyperacusis can ensue, and balance and traumatic brain injury can be the results.
Recreational Firearms / Fireworks Injury
In most cases, exposure to firearms and fireworks with or without hearing protection does not result in long-term damage. In fact, ears recover within minutes to hours or days. For some, hearing loss, tinnitus, and sound sensitivity disorders need specific treatments and therapy that reduce or eliminate the effects.
Wrongful Death
In rare instances, equipment alarm failure, lack of warning signals or sirens, negligence, or significant hearing loss can result in a wrongful death. The ability to determine the sound level and circumstances necessary to eliminate the threat and avoid injury and potential death is measurable when combined with site reconstruction.
Americans with Disabilities (ADA)
As a protected class, individuals with hearing loss, tinnitus, and hyperacusis need special accommodations, whether in public or work environments. Each individual can be evaluated for their needs to be engaged to maximize their potential.
Airplane Noise Exposure
In community noise or for those working near and around aircraft, short and long-term noise exposure results in hearing loss and tinnitus. Noise studies have shown specific changes in hearing and measurable disabilities. Those exposed to airplane crashes can acquire hearing loss and tinnitus from even a short duration of over-exposure.
