Noise Issues: Induced Hearing Loss (PSA)


Noise Induced Hearing Loss (2:26) This is an effective 2005 short Public Service Announcement  from the House Ear Institute about hearing loss that is painless, permanent, and preventable. "When an individual is over-exposed to excessive sound levels, sensitive structures of the inner ear can be damaged. This can result in permanent noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). These structures can be injured by exposure to a brief but intense sound, such as an explosion, or from regular exposure to excessive sound levels over time. NIHL can be prevented through the control of sound levels or proper use of hearing protection devices (HPDs), such as earplugs or earmuffs."  For more info visit the House Research Institute.
