Prevention
Professionals recommend several actions that can be taken in order to minimize the risk of hearing loss. When performing outdoor activities that are loud, such as using a chainsaw, lawn mower or other motorized equipment, wear earplugs that are appropriately rated. If you work in a noisy environment, ask your employer about providing earplugs and noise testing. There are a variety of molded earplugs and earmuffs that can be used in a work environment. Finally, it is also important, especially when working or playing around noise, to have your hearing checked annually.MayoClinic: Hearing Loss Prevention -
