Hi,
Numbness in hands and heavy arms, weakness, hearing problems are caused by the electrical shock.
You should go to the emergency room, for a physical examination, to make an ECG and complete blood count analysis, to evaluate the damage.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
