Occupational hearing loss is most commonly caused by prolonged exposure to loud noise in the workplace.
Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, is often an early indicator of hearing damage due to noise exposure.
Baseline audiometric testing provides a reference point to compare future tests and detect any changes in hearing ability over time.
Using both earplugs and ear muffs together provides the highest level of noise reduction and protection against hearing loss.
Annual audiometric testing helps monitor employees' hearing and detect any early signs of hearing loss due to noise exposure.
