The crowd’s screams “exceeded safe decibel levels” and have "caused hearing loss and severe tinnitus in both ears", according to TMZ.
The alleged sound blast occurred in Portland, Oregon in the US two years ago when pint-sized Bieber climbed into a heart-shaped platform.
Dangling over the crowd, he baited the audience to scream louder, the woman says.
Betts has now filed a lawsuit against the boy wonder for a staggering $9.23million (£5.97m).
She says: “Mr. Bieber created a wave like effect of screaming by pointing into various sections of the arena.
“Then enticed the crowd into a frenzy of screams by continuously waving his arms in a quick and upward motion, whereas I was struck with a sound blast.”
She explained that the gondola “acted as a sound conductor creating a sound blast that permanently damaged both of my ears."
As a result, Betts claims she now suffers from tinnitus, which causes a constant pulsing, whooshing sound that makes it hard to sleep. She complains that her ailment has also given her depression and increased levels of anxiety.
Bieber - along with his record label, the concert promoter and the arena - are now being asked to settle the damages after the woman’s “quality of life has been permanently reduced.”-sunuk
