Loud Noise Exposure
Sudden and violent exposure to loud noise doesn't guarantee hearing damage, but wearing proper hearing protection in all loud environments is essential. Long-term exposure to less traumatic noise, such as construction work, live music, and daily traffic, can also contribute to noise-induced hearing loss. If you’ve been exposed to loud sounds, some of the signs you experience may include:
- You can’t hear high-pitched sounds
- You have difficulty understanding others in crowded areas
- Speech sounds muffled
CONVERSATIONS CLEARLY
OTHERS IN CROWDED AREAS
TV VOLUME
HIGH PITCHED SOUNDS
Hearing speech & sounds
One of the earliest signs of hearing loss is in daily conversations with friends and family. If you have difficulty understanding others when they're speaking, they sound muffled or you find yourself asking people to repeat themselves often, it’s time to schedule a comprehensive hearing evaluation.
Constant ear ringing
Do your ears ring? Then it could be tinnitus. Tinnitus is when you hear intermittent or constant ringing or other noise in one or both of your ears when no external sound is present. Several factors can cause it, and in some cases, it may be the precursor to hearing loss or another serious condition. Some of the early signs of tinnitus include:
- Hearing buzzing, swishing, or ringing
- Trouble sleeping due to ear ringing
- Hearing a pulse or heartbeat (pulsatile tinnitus)
Hearing loss risks
While hearing loss can impact everyone, long-term exposure to traumatic noise, such as construction work, live music and daily traffic, can contribute to noise-induced hearing loss. While sudden and violent exposure to loud noise doesn't guarantee hearing damage, wearing proper hearing protection in all loud environments is essential.
You may be at increased risk of hearing loss if you participate in the following without hearing protection:
- Hunting or target shooting
- Working in a noisy environment
- Performing in or attending live music shows
- Using farm or construction equipment
- Prolonged exposure to loud engines or motorcycles
