(HealthDay News) — While hearing loss can be part of the aging process, it can also be caused by exposure to loud noise.
When is a noise too loud? The American Academy of Otolaryngology says hearing loss may occur if:
- You must shout so that others can hear you within an arm’s distance.
- Noise is so loud that it hurts your ears.
- Your ears are ringing from the noise.
- You have a hard time hearing for a few hours after exposure to the noise.
