The hearing loss was expected to be temporary, however it is the cumulative effect that causes permanent damage.<\/p>\n<p>The study is bringing awareness to the damage single exposure can cause. Noises over 85\u00a0decibels\u00a0(dB) cause damage to the tiny hair cells within the inner ear and with each loud exposure the chances of irreversible damage increase!<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to increasing awareness of hearing protection this weekend!
