Hearing Loss Caused by Loud Noise – How Much is Too Much

April 3, 2017vhcadminBlog, Health and Hearing Aids

Have you ever wondered what level of noise is too much and how you can protect yourself from hearing issues if exposed? Most sounds that we hear on a day to day basis are at a safe level. You will often know when the sound you have been exposed to is just too high. In fact, noise induced hearing loss is becoming very popular in recent years. To protect yourself, you need to understand the levels of sound that are acceptable.

Sound is measured in decibels (dB). To get a rough idea of what volume of sounds that you are being exposed to, below are a few measurements of common sounds.

Blender : 85dB

Vacuum cleaner : 75dB

Motorcycle: 100dB

Sirens : 120dB

General conversation : 60dB

Research has shown that hearing loss can result after exposing your ears to sound that is higher than 85dB for a period of 8 hours or longer. For higher volumes, the exposure time reduces. For instance, being exposed to sound at a volume of 90dB can cause hearing loss within 4 hours. It is important to wear hearing protection in order to avoid damage when exposed to high volumes for extended periods.

Take steps to prevent noise induced hearing loss

We are all exposed to noise in our day to day life. In fact, a high percentage of people who suffer from hearing loss have NIHL. The numbers are much higher for teenagers and younger adults because they are mostly exposed to loud music and hobbies. The best way to make sure you are safe from NIHL is to always wear hearing protection. With lots of hearing protection devices in the market, it’s easy to find one that fits your budget and needs,

You also need to move away when you notice the volume is just too loud or too close. This is especially important during events such as concerts where the sound is usually very high. Remember that NIHL can occur when you are exposed to high volume for 8 hours which is typically the time you are likely to spend on a concert or event. Taking simple measures such as staying away from the speakers or wearing hearing protection can help to avoid a wealth of issues in the future.

Talk to a hearing specialist

If you are experiencing any form of hearing loss, or you suspect that you could be suffering from NIHL, it is important to get help from a specialist as soon as possible. An audiologist can help you to identify the issue and review different treatment plans. Not all forms of hearing loss are untreatable. You can get back your hearing ability by using devices like hearing aids. The earlier you seek treatment the better it is for you to experience recovery sooner rather than later. Audiologists can provide you with custom hearing protection devices which you can use to prevent NIHL when you attend concerts, go hunting or do any kind of loud work.
