Loud noise
Loud noises are a potent source of long-term hearing loss. The level and duration of noise are directly linked to the damage it can do to your ears. Further, it’s not only your ears that noise can affect – loud noises are also known to cause stress, heart problems and tinnitus. All of which can have a huge effect on your life.
Sources of loud noise can include:
- Occupational noise
- Recreational noise
- Other sources: I.E. train stations, airports, roads, building sites and even snoring.
Lots of different work environments, general household and daily activities can also put you at risk of having noise-induced hearing loss. It’s important to take steps in protecting your hearing if you maybe exposed to loud noises for long periods.
