Understanding Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

Noise-induced hearing loss is a result of repeated exposure to loud sounds, which can damage the tiny hair cells in the ear responsible for transmitting sound to the brain. Symptoms of hearing loss can be subtle, such as having trouble understanding speech in noisy environments or experiencing tinnitus. Monitoring your hearing health and seeking professional testing are crucial steps in detecting and managing potential hearing loss.
