An Oregon woman filed a lawsuit this week against pop star Justin Bieber for $9.2 million.

Stacey Wilson Betts of Wilsonville says she suffered permanent hearing loss after Bieber enticed fans at a concert two years ago into a "frenzy of screams" by waving his arms, and the sound exceeded safe decibel levels, reports AP.

Betts, who attended the concert with one of her daughters and has been unemployed since 2005, is seeking money for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and loss of quality of life.

"Experienced promoters, sound engineers, managers and artists are responsible to maintain safe decibels at all times during their events," she says in the documents. Bieber and his record company have not responded yet.
