Did you know that October is Hearing Protection Month? Whether you’re in a loud working environment or simply want to take preventive measures, now is the perfect time to prioritize your hearing health!
Why Protecting Your Hearing is Crucial Hearing loss can happen gradually, and you may not notice it until it’s too late. Continuous exposure to loud sounds at work—whether it’s heavy machinery, tools, or even high-decibel conversations—can lead to noise-induced hearing loss. The good news is, hearing damage is preventable when proper precautions are taken.
Here are some quick facts:
- Hearing loss is one of the most common reasons people open a claim for occupational diseases with Worker Care. - Noise above 85 decibels can cause hearing damage after prolonged exposure. - Hearing loss from loud noises is permanent and irreversible, but preventable! - 1 in 5 workers is exposed to potentially harmful noise levels in their workplace. - Wearing hearing protection like earplugs or earmuffs can reduce your risk significantly.
