"Abnormal" sounds : U.S. warns employees after Chinese embassy worker shows brain injury

The U.S. Embassy in China issued a health alert Wednesday to all government workers after an employee showed signs of a brain injury after hearing "abnormal" sounds and feeling unusual physical pressure.


"The U.S. government is taking these reports seriously and has informed its official staff in China of this event," the embassy said in a statement.

The State Department said the employee, stationed in Guangzhou, shows symptoms of a mild traumatic brain injury.

The embassy warned workers in China to move away from the source of the noise if they experience "any unusual acute auditory or sensory phenomenon" with "unusual sounds of piercing noises."
