Industrial Deafness

Industrial deafness is also known as noise induced hearing loss.

There are many places of work where there is a lot of noise. This noise at work can cause serious damage to the hearing ability of the workers working there.

They can suffer hearing loss and even tinnitus. These kinds of hearing problems are bracketed together and referred to as industrial deafness.

It has been observed that more than 170,000 people in the UK are suffering from the condition. Our ears are not meant to take too much noise for a very long time.

When people work regularly in very noisy workplaces, they develop different kinds of hearing problems such as:

• Temporary hearing loss: this kind of hearing loss happens when the person experiences several hours of exposure to noise above 75 dB. The person generally recovers in 14-15 hours when kept in a quiet environment.

• Permanent hearing loss: with constant exposure to noise, some changes start taking place in the person’s ears. It takes time for the person to realise that he is facing this problem and by that time it is too late and nothing is possible to reverse the damage.

• Acoustic trauma: hearing loss caused by very loud noise or several very loud noises in very short time period. For example an explosion at work or exposure to the noise of gun shots without proper ear protection, etc.

• Tinnitus: experiencing noises like ringing, buzzing, whistling, hissing etc in the ear is called tinnitus.
