• Description:
  Noise and hearing loss - with their associated implications on communication, employment opportunities, job performance, injury-risk, anxiety and quality of life - place a significant burden on society. Occupational hearing loss represents a substantial portion of all hearing impairments and is nearly always permanent. The negative consequences associated with noise exposure are not confined to the workplace or the working years. Each of us encounters hazardous sound exposures during childhood and the exposures continue throughout our lifetime, regardless of the job(s) we perform. Noise is everywhere. The prevention of its effects requires expanding preventive initiatives to outside the workplace; it requires the integration of occupational safety and health protection with health promotion.
