What else can I help you with?
Does pressure cause hearing loss?
yes, too much pressure on the ear drum can damage your hearing.
What are ways to cause hearing loss?
playing music to loud. to much presher in your ears
Can there be hearing loss due to eating too much?
yes
Is it dangerous to use a loud subwoofer too much in your car?
Exposure to very loud music in a confined space can cause hearing loss over time.
Permanent hearing loss can occur when one is exposed to what?
Hearing loss by noise exposure occurs when the cochlea or Inner Ear is exposed to excessive noise levels that can cause temporary or permanent damage to ones hearing. We use a baseline that sound levels over 85dB will cause hearing loss and that hearing protection is manatory when exposed. Cell phones, televisions, personal entertianment devices, lawn mowers, power tools, sports or entertainment forums all can easly cause hearing loss. Everyday sounds you find outside can also cause hearing loss and we call that noise pollution. Noise exposure will be the leading cause of hearing loss in people aged between 20 - 60 years old. Noise levels that cause hearing loss can be long term or short term and is determined by the intensity of decible range (loudness)and frequency versus time exposure to that sound. Best described it is your exposure time against the intesity of the volume levels. You can be exposed to low levels over longer periods and shorter period with more intense levels. Very much like being exposed to radiation. We can all be exposed to radition with temporary or little effect or be very harmed by it. Long term exposure to low doses or short term doses at high levels can extremely harmful. So the longer you are exposed to intense sound the more likely you will get hearing loss and most likely permanent loss. It may take 1 second as a jet fighter takes off or 20 years listening to traffic you can have noise induced hearing loss. Anyone that has been to a rock concert can remember the "amplifer hum" after the concert and feeling deafened, that was hearing loss due to noise exposure. Hopefully your hearing came back but it was a signed that you damaged your hearing and may come back later like exposure to the sun to haunt you. We have determine that noise levels measures at 85dB or greater can cause hearing loss. We us a sound level meter to measure or weight noise by peak levels or long term levels by intensity and also by frequency. We can determine if the sound levels are dangerouse and recommeded protection. The human part effected is the hearing nerves that cannot be replaced, so most noise induced hearing loss is permanent. How can we determine noise exposure has caused a hearing loss? Ususally , client history current and if possible past hearing tests . There is in most cases a distinct shape of hearing loss in tested frequencys that can effect one ear or both ears and previous hearing tests are available we can see if and what changes have occured. What can you do about it? Not much except possible use of a hearing aid to help with the hearing loss and protection what hearing is left. There is little medically at this time that can be done as far as repairing the damage. So allways use hearing protection, turn down your IPOD and cell phone and just be lucky you are not driving in the car that you can hear playing music a mile away. There is available. There is enough available hearing protection the can be specific for your hearing needs and uses so use them.
What is the maximum sound level in decibels that can cause permanent hearing damage, with 1100 dB being the threshold?
The maximum sound level that can cause permanent hearing damage is around 85-90 decibels. Sounds above this level, especially prolonged exposure, can lead to hearing loss. The threshold for permanent damage is much lower than 1100 dB.
How can you correct hearing loss?
Unfortunately, in most cases hearing loss does not improve. However, some types of hearing loss can be caused by problems which may be treated medically, such as ear infections or a perforated ear-drum. These types of loss can often improve. If the loss is a nerve loss, as is most hearing loss, it is not likely to get better. Depends on the cause of hearing loss. If the loss is conductive - ie. caused by a problem with the ear canal, ear drum, bones behind the ear or middle ear cavity, there is a good chance that it could be treated surgically. If the hearing loss is due to changes in the nerves (sensorineural hearing loss) then there is no surgical, medical or alternative treatment that will improve the hearing. An audiologist will be able to tell you if your results indicate that you have a conductive, sensorineural or mixed (both types) loss.
What is postlingual hearing impairment?
Postlingual hearing impairment refers to hearing loss that occurred after language was developed. This is especially important in children during their formative years when their speech and language skills are developing. The basic building blocks for learning, reading, spelling are borne from good listening, auditory memory, and auditory discrimination and if there is hearing loss the old adage - junk in, junk out - prevails. The methods to teach the postlingually deaf are much different than the methods to teach the prelingually deaf. Postlingual hearing loss is also more common and the listener often does not notice the loss as much as those around him or her.
Does green tea cause weight loss and how much of it does?
No, it does not.
How much exposure is acceptable with 140 db?
Exposure to 140 dB of sound should be minimized as much as possible as it can cause immediate hearing damage or loss. Prolonged exposure to this level of sound can result in permanent hearing damage. Protective equipment like earplugs or earmuffs should be worn in environments where 140 dB of sound is present.
Severe loss of hearing which your doctor and ausiologist say is due to working around loud noises after retiring your hearing continues to gradually get worse is that caused by your original loss?
It doesnt always get worse. but it never gets better. It only depends on how much you surround youself by noise. Loud noise will destroy your hearing loss over a long period of time.
Exposure to too much sound with high amplitude can be classified as this?
Exposure to too much sound with high amplitude can be classified as noise-induced hearing loss. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can damage the sensitive hair cells in the inner ear, leading to hearing problems or loss. It is essential to protect your ears from excessive noise to prevent this type of hearing damage.
