Hearing
Health Info
Extremely
loud noises can cause permanent damage to the tiny hair cells inside the
cochlea. Even moderately loud noise over a period of time can be
damaging. But just how loud is loud? Studies show that prolonged exposure
to sounds at or above 90dB can damage hearing. Protect your hearing and
wear earplugs when exposed to loud noise.
- Protect your hearing
whenever your surroundings are so loud you must raise your voice to
be heard. It doesn't matter what the source of the loud sounds are -
music (radios, live music, and headphones), machinery, conversation
(bar or restaurant). If it's too loud for you to hear yourself, the
sound is potentially damaging to your hearing. If you can't avoid
the situation, wear ear plugs.
- Mention any ringing or
buzzing in your ears or in your head to your doctor.
- Ears are self-cleaning. Normal
bathing is all most people have to do to keep their ears clean and
healthy.
- If ear wax does need to
be "cleaned out" only a qualified professional should do
so.
- Any sudden change in
hearing should be reported to your doctor.
