We are exposed to sound on a daily basis. Volume levels vary considerably, and can easily exceed 85 decibels (dB)\u2014 the threshold that is considered safe. Any prolonged exposure to noise exceeding this is harmful and can cause permanent, irreversible hearing loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While noise-induced hearing loss is the most common cause of hearing loss in the U.S. there is good news. It is easily preventable. There are steps you can take to protect your hearing and help prevent hearing loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prevent Hearing Loss Now <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wear hearing protection when exposed to loud noise. Earplugs are a must in noisy environments, such as rock concerts and sporting events. They should also be worn when riding a motorcycle or snowmobile, mowing the lawn, using power tools, etc. If your job exposes you to loud noise, your employer is required by OSHA to supply hearing protection. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
