    "gunshot blasts near the head".

    The gunshot blast was 150 yards away.

    I'll agree there's potential for more serious damage
    if a high velocity bullet tore through an ear, but
    it ain't a blast injury

    CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta is calling for a
    "public assessment" of Donald Trump's gunshot injury. He says "the
    concern is that gunshot blasts near the head can cause injuries that
    aren't immediately noticeable, such as bleeding in or on the brain,
    damage to the inner ear, or even psychological trauma."

    I would assume there was a pressure wave produced by the bullet.
