Noise Induced Hearing Loss

Our ability to hear is important to us in many ways. By far the most important aspect of our hearing is the ability it gives us to
hear other people speak. It enables us to interact with people, to listen, to learn, and to easily communicate.

This program covers:

• Causes of Hearing Loss

• Noise Induced Hearing Loss – The basic facts

• Noise Induced Hearing Loss – What damage is done to the ear

• Basic Facts about Sound and Noise

• The Hearing Test & Audiogram

• Noise Control Measures

• Hearing Protection

Poor hearing can dramatically change your lifestyle. It can lead to misunderstandings and give other people an impression of
rudeness or even a lack of intelligence. It can make you more vulnerable to accidents and injuries, limit employment opportunities
and lead to social isolation.

The objective of this program is to explain the major hazard areas associated with noise and to increase awareness of noise issues
in the workplace.

‘Noise Induced Hearing Loss’ strongly reinforces the fact that once hearing is damaged, it cannot be repaired. However the program
also reinforces that Noise Induced Hearing Loss is preventable.
