Chronic is a condition that results from long term exposure at low levels. Acute is a sudden injury from exposure to a short term high level. For instance, chronic hearing loss could result from an extended exposure to loud noise, such as loud music. An acute hearing loss could result from a single brief exposure to very high sound levels, such as an explosion or gunshot.
