Abstract

The problems of noise are not limited to the simple annoyance of an individual. Noise can produce a permanent hearing handicap. Many everyday activities and hobbies are associated with hazardous exposure to noise. The hunter and the sport shooter are potential subjects of severe and unresolvable hearing loss.Noise-induced hearing loss develops insidiously. The means of prevention are far more simple than is correction of the loss. Wearing ear protectors, plugs or earmuffs, is advisable during exposure to hazardous noise.
