How to Prevent Hearing Loss
In an endlessly buzzing world, your ears are always on duty — even when sleeping — processing and connecting you to the surrounding environment. Unlike your eyes, which can close to shield from bright lights or airborne dust, ears don't close when things get too loud, which makes everyone susceptible to noise-induced hearing loss. Is it possible to prevent hearing loss? With the right guidance and products, you can protect yourself from it.
Noise-Induced Loss
Exposure to loud noise damages the delicate hair cells in the inner ear, which transmit sound to the brain. These cells don't repair themselves, so any damage is often permanent, causing tinnitus and hearing loss. If you’re wondering how to prevent hearing loss, protecting your ears in loud environments is essential. While some age-related loss is inevitable, diminished hearing from loud noise isn’t.
Protective Measures
Whether you work eight hours a day surrounded by loud machinery or are a music fan who loves to crank the tunes or go to concerts, we have great news. You can prevent hearing loss from loud noise with ear protection products and by following these simple tips.
Simple ways to protect your hearing
- Use hearing protection
- Turn down the volume
- Take breaks from loud noise
- Exercise regularly
- Avoid ototoxic medications
Sudden noise over 120 decibels (dB) can cause immediate damage, while continued exposure to 70 dB or more will cause progressive hearing loss. These activities may put you at risk and increase the importance of using hearing protection.

Protecting against loud noise is one of the most effective steps to prevent hearing loss. Retaining your ability to hear translates into a lifetime of benefits. Loud noises not only put ears at risk, but also cause the body to release stress hormones, raise blood pressure, increase heart rate, and cause rapid breathing. By reducing noise levels, your entire body will appreciate the preventive measure.
