Is Hearing Protection Important?
Hearing loss can result from damage to structures and/or nerve fibers in the inner ear that respond to sound. This type of hearing loss, termed “noise-induced hearing loss,” is usually caused by exposure to excessively loud sounds and cannot be medically or surgically corrected. Noise-induced hearing loss can result from a one-time exposure to a very loud sound, blast, or impulse, or from listening to loud sounds over an extended period.
As a rule of thumb, to reduce your risk of noise-induced hearing loss, it is important to protect your hearing in the presence of loud and/or potentially hazardous sound levels.
