Justin Bieber is being sued by a woman who claims that she was got tinnitus after attending a concert he performed at in 2010.

Stacy Wilson Betts is demanding $9.23m in compensation from the 'Believe' star, claiming that he manipulated the crowd into making as loud a noise as possible and thus made her damage even worse.

Court papers attained by TMZ reveal that Betts claims: ‘I was injured by a sound blast that exceeded safe decibel levels. I suffer hearing loss, tinnitus and hyperacusis in both ears.’

Betts goes on to say that Bieber; ‘created a wave like effect of screaming by pointing into various sections of the arena.’ Adding: ‘The gondola that Justin Bieber was suspended in acted as a sound conductor creating a sound blast that permanently damaged both of my ears.’
 
The Oregon woman, who attended the concert with her daughter, also stated that the tinnitus manifests itself as a ‘loud high pitched, whooshing, pulsating sound’ and that she is suffering ‘anxiety, loss of sleep, and depression’ as a result.

Meanwhile, Bieber recently claimed that he loves his critics and haters, saying they're the ones that make him rich.
