Loud Noise Causes Hearing Loss

A few days ago, I was calling a friend Tim and asked to speak loudly every few minutes. The line is clear, the cell phone is not in use, I am talking about it, as I am now, we are all in a comfortable house. So that makes me think, it is me or he can hear my voice. Well, the truth is that more than 30 million Americans are exposed to dangerous sound everyday, according to data from Deaf nationals and other Communication Disorders Association. Continuous exposure opens the way for serious health problems called noise hearing loss.

Large sputum is one of the most common causes of hearing loss. Noise from lawn mowers, snow throwers or loud music can hurt the inner ear and cause permanent hearing loss. Loud noises can also cause tinnitus. You can prevent most of hearing loss related to noise. Please lower the sound of the stereo, the television, or the headphones, separate them from the loud sounds, or protect themselves using earplugs and other ear protection. Accumulation of earwax or body fluid may block the sound transmitted from the eardrum to the inner ear. If clogging of wax is a problem, use mild treatment such as mineral oil, baby oil, glycerin, or commercially available ear drops to relieve earwax. Piercing the tympanic membrane may cause deafness. Infection, stress, placing objects in your ear may damage the eardrum, including swab. If you have pain or moisture in your ears, please consult your doctor.

One term very similar to sensorineural hearing loss is the noise hearing loss (NIHL) that occurs because of the noise. Concerts, gun shots, firecrackers, and big headphones are common reasons for NIHL. When the ears are subjected to great noise, the spikes begin to kill your inner cells. More and more hair cells are destroyed as the time to exposure to the big noise becomes longer. As the number of hair cells decreases, hearing loss also decreases. Experts believe that the risk of damage to the ear depends on two factors, noisy loudness and loud duration. Continuous exposure to noise above 80-85 decibels can cause hearing impairment
