Noise Induced Hearing Loss
Hearing is important for effective communication and a healthy brain. It’s crucial to be proactive about your hearing health by protecting your ears from loud noise. Loud noise exposure is one of the most common causes of hearing loss in people of all ages but is especially rising in teenagers and young adults.
Sounds that exceed 85 decibels (the average noise level of city traffic) can be detrimental to hearing over a significant period of time. Loud noise can damage the delicate hairs in the inner ear which are responsible for hearing. Long-term exposure to sounds between 85 to 100 decibels can lead to irreversible hearing damage; while noise that exceeds 100 decibels can cause hearing loss after just a one-time exposure (such as a gunshot or fireworks).
This type of hearing loss is known as sensorineural loss and is the result of loud noise exposure. It’s important to protect your hearing because if hearing loss does occur, it can affect your speech comprehension, relationships, career, and cognitive abilities if not managed right away.
