Noise is everywhere• At home

All sounds don’t hurt your ears…..
• What matters is….
• HOW LOUD
• And HOW LONG
![Page 6: NOISE DESTROYS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816330550346895dd3b010/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Overexposure to noise damages tiny nerve endings
inside the ear

Damage begins in the HIGH pitch region
• ABOVE the speech frequencies
![Page 8: NOISE DESTROYS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816330550346895dd3b010/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
As the damage progresses…
• It will work its way down to eventually affect the speech frequencies

By the time you begin to notice the hearing loss, • You have a VERY WELL
DEVELOPED hearing loss
![Page 10: NOISE DESTROYS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816330550346895dd3b010/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
SO……..• It sneaks up on you…you don’t
know you have it until you have a lot of it!

Noise induced hearing loss affects the QUALITY of the
sound Rather than the LOUDNESS
If you think of your ear like a stereo, it is like fiddling with the equalizer
NOT like turning down the volume
![Page 12: NOISE DESTROYS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816330550346895dd3b010/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Turning it up may make it LOUDER
• BUT… it will not make it CLEARER
• Kind of like turning up the volume on a blown speaker…it will still sound bad
![Page 13: NOISE DESTROYS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816330550346895dd3b010/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Hearing aids help but do NOT cure
• Hearing aids are amplifiers, the problem with noise induced hearing loss is not loudness but CLARITY.

The KEY thing is• PROTECTION and PREVENTION
