ENT South - Hearing Protection

The sounds in our environment from things like tv, radio, household appliances, and traffic are typically at safe volumes but sometimes they can be loud and damage the ears even if they are loud for a short time. Sensitive structures in the inner ear can be damaged by these noises which can lead to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL).

NIHL can either take a short time or years to develop, it can affect one ear or both, and it can be permanent or temporary. You may not be able to tell that you are damaging your ears until it is years down the road when you suddenly realize you are having trouble hearing the people around you. NIHL can make it hard to hear the phone ring, people talking in a noisy room, or other things such as the tv. But regardless of how it may affect you down the road, IT CAN BE PREVENTED.
