Understanding Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
It’s extremely important to realize that two different factors can cause noise-induced hearing loss. The one most people are familiar with is an extremely loud noise for a short period of time. The second is a normal sound that is heard over a lengthy period of time. So, just because the noise may not be overly loud doesn’t mean that it can’t be harmful over long-term exposure.
When an employee spends all day working in an environment with slightly moderate sounds, it can damage their hearing. Over time, it can cause the stereocilia to be damaged. The stereocilia are tiny hair-like substances that are responsible for sending information about sound to our brain. When they’re damaged, the brain no longer receives information about sound, known as hearing loss. Some common symptoms that employees may experience regarding hearing loss include:
- Ringing/Buzzing In The Ear
- Turning Up The Sound On Audio Devices
- Saying, “What?” Much More Often
