Q: How does exposure to loud noise contribute to hearing loss

Exposure to loud noise can lead to permanent hearing loss by damaging the tiny hair cells in your inner ear that are responsible for transmitting sound signals to the brain. Prolonged or repeated exposure to sounds above 85 decibels—such as from machinery, concerts, or headphones at high volumes—can result in noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). This type of hearing loss is often gradual and irreversible, making prevention essential. Learn more about the effects of noise on hearing. To protect your ears, use earplugs or noise-canceling devices in loud environments and limit your exposure to high-decibel sounds. If you suspect hearing loss, take our free online hearing test to assess your condition.
