Justin Bieber is being sued for $9.2 million for ear damage that allegedly occurred at one of his concerts. Stacey Wilson Betts took her daughter to one of his concerts in 2010, and she alleges it was so noisy she’s been suffering from hearing loss, severe tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and hyperacusis (oversensitivity to sound) in both ears ever since, according to E! News. Stacy claimed an “unforseen aspect” of the show led to a blast that ”exceeded safe decibel levels” in court papers. And the unforseen aspect was…

“[Bieber] climbed into a heart shaped, aluminum/steel gondola and was pulled out over the crowd,” creating a “wave like effect of screaming” that “enticed the crowd into a frenzy of screams by continuously waving his arms in a quick and upward motion,” Betts said in the documents.

“Due to the negligence of Justin Bieber,” as well as that of the promoters and sound engineers who are “responsible to maintain safe decibels at all times during their events,” that steel gondola acted as “a sound conductor,” creating a “sound blast” that permanently damaged both of Betts’ ears…

OUCH. Of course, Justin isn’t the only one named in the lawsuit: the concert promoters, Justin’s label, etc, are all named as defendants. Do you think this complaint is valid or just an attempt to get some money?
