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

   Noise-induced hearing loss affects adults and kids alike. This condition develops when damage occurs to the delicate hair cells in the inner ear due to exposure to loud sounds or noises. Get more ...

3. 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 ]

4. 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]

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. Hearing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_loss

   Avoiding exposure to loud noise can help prevent noise-induced hearing loss. [95] 18% of adults exposed to loud noise at work for five years or more report hearing loss in both ears as compared to 5.5% of adults who were not exposed to loud noise at work. [96]

7. Auditory fatigue - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_fatigue

   When the hearing loss is rooted from a traumatic occurrence, it may be classified as noise-induced hearing loss, or NIHL. There are two main types of auditory fatigue, short-term and long-term. [2] These are distinguished from each other by several characteristics listed individually below. Short-term fatigue

8. Sensorineural hearing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensorineural_hearing_loss

   Hearing loss that worsens with age but is caused by factors other than normal aging, such as noise-induced hearing loss, is not presbycusis, although differentiating the individual effects of multiple causes of hearing loss can be difficult. One in three persons have significant hearing loss by age 65; by age 75, one in two.

9. Occupational noise - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_noise

   Temporary hearing loss after loud noise exposure. If such exposure is long enough, this temporary threshold shift may become permanent. [13] Occupational noise, if experienced repeatedly, at high intensity, for an extended period of time, can cause noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) [14] which is then classified as occupational hearing loss.
