Hearing Loss & Acoustic Trauma

How many time have each of us gone into our teenagers bedroom and asked them to turn the music down or been sat behind someone on a bus that was wearing headphones plugged into some type of musical device and said to ourselves “he/she will turn themselves deaf with that racket”.

We have all probably at some time or other encountered the situation but it is actually something that shouldn’t be taken lightly and loss of hearing or deafness can in fact be contributed to prolonged use of loud music.

Hearing loss associated with this is called acoustic trauma and gradual hearing loss over a prolonged period of exposure to loud music can be one of the causes, the hearing loss may be temporary or become permanent.
