What is hearing loss?
Hearing loss can have a huge impact on a person’s life. Whilst there are many causes of hearing loss, a large amount of hearing loss injuries in Australia are caused by exposure to extreme noise levels at work.
A sudden or gradual loss of hearing for an otherwise healthy individual can have a tremendous impact on your quality of life. Unfortunately, many workers employed in the industrial, manufacturing and construction industries are affected by hearing loss injuries as a result of the work environment and exposure to noise levels at work.
Over time, it is highly likely that one may get used to the noise levels and won’t find it a problem, but suddenly having to raise the volume on audio equipment, asking people to repeat themselves more often than you once did, or something as simple as having difficulties hearing clearly in an environment with elevated background noise levels may be a serious warning sign not to be ignored.
If you have worked previously – or are currently employed in – a noisy environment, you are at risk of suffering from serious harm to your hearing. As one of the five basic human senses, the ability to hear sound helps us understand and perceive the world around you and is more sensitive and fragile than you would think. As common physical condition experienced by many people is known as “tinnitus” – a condition where sounds described as “buzzing” or “ringing” is (intermittently or constantly) heard by the individuals even when no external noise source is present.
Whilst there are many causes of hearing loss, a large amount of hearing loss injuries in Australia are caused by exposure to extreme noise levels at work.
