What is noise?
Noise is any unwanted sound. It constantly surrounds us
every day-at work,home,or play.
Every day we experience sound in our environment such
as the TV,radio,washing machine, and automobiles. Butwhen an individual is exposed to harmful sounds (sounds
that are too loud or too sounds over a long time) sensitive
structures of the inner ear can be damaged, causing noise-
induced hearing loss (NIHL).

What is NIHL ?
*It is a sensorineural hearing loss deficit that begins
at the higher frequencies (3000 to 6000 Hz) and
develop gradually as a result of chronic exposure
to excessive sound levels.*It is the second most common sensorineural
hearing loss, after presbycusis.
*Acoustic trauma results from an acute exposure toshort-term impulsive noise.

How does noise affect hearing?
The answer is not completely known. However
we do know that the damage is caused to thesensitive cells in the cochlea.
High noise levels damage the hair cells of the
organ of corti,affecting first those in the basalpart of the cochlea concerned with reception ofthe higher frequencies sounds and progressingthrough to those receiving lower frequencies.
Complications:permanenthearing loss, highfrequency hearing loss and deafness.

WhatcausesNIHL ?
With excessive exposure to85-90 dB or louder noiselevels, the nerves anddelicate membranes in theinner ear become damagedcausing a hearing loss in thehigher tones.
Risk factor list: noisyoccupation, miners

Signs of NIHL:
Feeling of fullness of the ear.
Ringing in the ears (tinnitus).
Having trouble understanding what people say.
Needing to turn the TV sound higher.
Having to ask people to repeat what they just said
to you.
Not being able to hear high-pitched sounds, like ababy crying or a telephone ringing in another
room.
