A new study shows that as the noise gets louder, the risk of having a noise-induced stroke increases for people over 65. It was found that the likelihood of stroke increased for every 10 decibels (dB) increased in the loudness of sound.
The report included a large study group of 51,485 subjects and after crunching the numbers, scientists determined that the risk of stroke in Baby Boomers rises 14% for every 10 dB increase in volume.
