  • Even a small amount of hearing loss can have profound, negative effects on speech, language comprehension, communication, classroom learning, and social development. (cdc.gov)
  • Hearing loss can result from damage to structures and/or nerve fibers in the inner ear that respond to sound. (cdc.gov)
  • This type of hearing loss, termed "noise-induced hearing loss," is usually caused by exposure to excessively loud sounds and cannot be medically or surgically corrected. (cdc.gov)
  • Noise-induced hearing loss can result from a one-time exposure to a very loud sound, blast, or impulse, or from listening to loud sounds over an extended period. (cdc.gov)
  • Hearing loss caused by exposure to loud sound is preventable. (cdc.gov)
  • Learn about the causes of noise-induced hearing loss and how to prevent it, so your kids-and you-can have healthy hearing for life. (cdc.gov)
  • People with mild hearing loss (25 dB) are 3 times more likely to have a history of falling. (momentumaudiology.com)
  • Every additional 10 decibels of hearing loss increases the chances of falling by 1.4 times the regular risk. (momentumaudiology.com)
  • Understanding and minimizing the risks associated with noise exposures are the keys to preventing noise-related hearing loss. (cdc.gov)
  • NIOSH has a long history of leadership in conducting research, advancing control measures, and recommending noise-exposure limits to prevent job-related hearing loss. (cdc.gov)
  • The NIOSH REL is an occupational exposure limit, and was set to protect workers from developing hearing loss -substantial enough to make it difficult to hear or understand speech - over the course of a forty-year working career. (cdc.gov)
  • Risk of hearing loss from noise exposure is a complex issue. (cdc.gov)
  • Most noise-induced hearing loss is a result of accumulated damage from repeated exposures to hazardous noise. (cdc.gov)
  • When setting this limit, NIOSH acknowledged that approximately 8% of workers could still develop hearing loss. (cdc.gov)
  • it does not account for noisy activities or hobbies outside the workplace (such as hunting, power tool use, listening to music with ear buds, playing music, or attending sporting events, movies and concerts) which may increase the overall risk for hearing loss. (cdc.gov)
  • Control and Prevention (CDC), in collaboration with the Marion Downs Hearing Center, convened the National Workshop on Mild and Unilateral Hearing Loss on July 26-27, 2005, in Breckenridge, Colorado. (cdc.gov)
  • Hearing loss is a hidden disability that usually occurs gradually over time, so it's often hard to know how much hearing loss you have or how much you're missing,' says Debara Tucci, M.D., of Duke University. (medlineplus.gov)
  • She says that if hearing loss is not treated, it can result in serious health, social, and financial problems. (medlineplus.gov)
  • People with hearing loss have a higher risk of falls, depression, and hospitalization. (medlineplus.gov)
  • There are many reasons why people with hearing loss don't use hearing aids. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Before seeking medical treatment, most hearing aid users have lived with hearing loss for more than 10 years, and their hearing has become worse over time. (medlineplus.gov)
  • They might also counsel you and family members about how to adjust to hearing loss. (medlineplus.gov)
  • The NIDCD has a long history of research and discovery in hearing health,' says NIDCD Director James F. Battey, Jr., M.D., Ph.D. 'We support studies not only on how we hear, but also on technologies to help people hear better and on delivery models to get hearing loss interventions into the hands of the people who need them.
