Good hearing health is essential for ease of communication with people. If your hearing is affected, it can affect your confidence, health, and well-being. Common factors responsible for hearing loss are hereditary, aging, and certain illnesses; another unsuspecting cause for this is the workplace.
Occupational hearing loss such as working in noisy areas can eventually lead people who work in such places to have hearing loss in the long term. It can become embarrassing when colleagues at work have to shout or repeat themselves before you can hear them.
Imagine having a staff meeting and you were asked a question but you misinterpreted because it sounded different. When this becomes a pattern, it can make communication difficult and weird. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), occupational hearing loss is one of the most common work-related illnesses in the United States. However, your level of exposure to noise and the length and frequency of the exposure matter.
