Many cases of hearing loss or deafness are not preventable; however, it is very important to realize that hearing loss caused by loud noise can be prevented. The only cause that can be prevented is noise-induced hearing loss. There are steps you can take to reduce your risk of this type of hearing loss. The intensity of sound is measured in units called decibels, and any sounds over 80 decibels are considered hazardous with prolonged exposure. To reduce the risk of permanent hearing damage, you can: Turn down the volume on your stereo, TV, and especially the headset on your music player.
