2. Noise-induced hearing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-induced_hearing_loss

   Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a hearing impairment resulting from exposure to loud sound. People may have a loss of perception of a narrow range of frequencies or impaired perception of sound including sensitivity to sound or ringing in the ears . [ 1 ]

3. Noise-Induced Hearing Loss: What It Is And How to Treat It - AOL

   www.aol.com/noise-induced-hearing-loss-treat...

   Adults, as well as children, experience hearing loss if the sound intensity is loud enough. According to the NIH, data from 2005-2006 estimated that 17% of teenagers had noise-induced hearing loss ...

4. Auditory fatigue - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_fatigue

   Auditory fatigue is defined as a temporary loss of hearing after exposure to sound. This results in a temporary shift of the auditory threshold known as a temporary threshold shift (TTS). The damage can become permanent ( permanent threshold shift , PTS) if sufficient recovery time is not allowed before continued sound exposure. [ 1 ]

5. Causes of hearing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_hearing_loss

   Both constant exposure to loud sounds (85 dB(A) or above) and one-time exposure to extremely loud sounds (120 dB(A) or above) may cause permanent hearing loss. [9] Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) typically manifests as elevated hearing thresholds (i.e. less sensitivity or muting) between 3000 and 6000 Hz, centred at 4000 Hz. As noise damage ...

6. Health effects from noise - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_from_noise

   Noise-induced hearing loss is a permanent shift in pure-tone thresholds, resulting in sensorineural hearing loss. The severity of a threshold shift is dependent on duration and severity of noise exposure. Noise-induced threshold shifts are seen as a notch on an audiogram from 3000 to 6000 Hz, but most often at 4000 Hz. [16]

7. Safe listening - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_listening

   There is no agreement on the acceptable risk of noise-induced hearing loss in children; and adult damage-risk criteria may not be suitable for establishing safe listening levels for children due to differences in physiology and the more serious developmental impact of hearing loss early in life.
