In the present study, in order to avoid such bias, we tried to assess subjects younger than forty years of age. [scielo.br]
Depending on the root cause of NIHL, different signs may be present. For example, an instant loss of hearing due to noise may present different symptoms to a loss which has occurred gradually over time. [hearingdirect.com]

Fatigue
This overexposure can fatigue and ultimately damage the sensitive structures of our hearing organ (cochlea). These sensitive structures include the hair cells which are small sensory cells that send sound energy to the brain. [sickkids.ca]
Noise increases fatigue and irritability, upsets the stomach, increases the heart rate, reduces the attention span in jobs, and affects the work performance. [news-medical.net]
Exposure to excessive noise can also affect psychological health including anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleeplessness, affect memory and decision making. 2 Most people don't take hearing loss seriously, as it is not life-threatening and they have a lack [comcare.gov.au]

Hearing Impairment
The hearing impairment is noticeable only when it is substantial enough to interfere with routine activities. At this stage, a permanent and irreversible hearing damage has occurred. [indianjotol.org]
Possible Symptoms of NIHL As with any hearing impairment, symptoms may vary from person to person. Depending on the root cause of NIHL, different signs may be present. [hearingdirect.com]
Introduction Hearing impairment is a major challenge for public health organizations. [mdpi.com]
Noise-induced hearing loss is permanent hearing impairment as a result of being exposed to high levels of noise. This type of hearing loss can happen right away or slowly over a period of years. [cooperhealth.org]

Sudden Hearing Loss
It’s also possible to experience sudden hearing loss if a sound is loud enough and causes immediate damage to your ears. The hearing loss can be temporary or permanent. Accompanying symptoms of tinnitus are also extremely common. [comeheargreenville.com]
Sudden hearing loss produced by a sudden and very loud noise (blast injury) is called acute acoustic trauma. If the sound is loud enough, it can cause the eardrum to rupture or the person to have a complete loss of hearing. [medicinenet.com]

Progressive Hearing Loss
Ototoxic drugs (drugs harmful to hearing) and certain conditions, such as Ménière’s disease, can also contribute to progressive hearing loss over time. [hearinghealthfoundation.org]

This trauma can result in hearing loss, ringing in the ears ( tinnitus ), and occasional dizziness ( vertigo ), as well as non-auditory effects, such as increases in heart rate and blood pressure. [medicinenet.com]
Treatment
Articles on ANIHL and steroid treatment for human subjects were reviewed. The source sounds and treatment sequelae of our accumulated cases were also reviewed. [tandfonline.com]
The researchers found that treatment with these solutions prevented 45–64 percent of neuron loss, suggesting that the treatment may offer a way to preserve hearing function. The treatment could have several potential applications, Oghalai explains. [technologynetworks.com]
Protective effects diminish with delay in treatment, although some protection is observed even with a 5-day delay in the onset of treatment. Recent research has shown the key role of free radical formation and reduced inner ear blood flow in NIHL. [medicine.umich.edu]
“The possibility of finally developing a treatment for hearing loss is particularly exciting,” Guthrie said. [newswise.com]
Treatments Although there is ongoing research into how to treat Noise-induced Hearing Loss in the hours or days immediately following exposure, the best course of action is to protect your hearing from the loud sound in the first place. [hearnet.org.au]

Prevention
Benjamin Franklin got it right when he said "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Just as you would take preventative measures to protect yourself from heart disease or diabetes, it pays to protect yourself from hearing loss. [aschearingclinic.com]
Some steps to prevent noise at these work environments are as below: To establish safety measures needed in their work situation, sound levels need to be measured. [news-medical.net]
Detailed Description: This study assessed the potential for prevention of the temporary changes in hearing that can occur after use of a music player device for 4 hours. [clinicaltrials.gov]
What is a surprise is how few people actually do anything to prevent noise-induced hearing loss. (See that 70 percent stat above.) Maybe they don’t know that it is preventable. But as Dr. Kyle Acker explained to his younger self, it is! [starkey.com]
How to Prevent NIHL The first and most important step to preventing NIHL is awareness of the noise levels around you. Exposure to sounds above 85 dB for a prolonged period can cause damage, and very loud sounds (120 dB ) can cause immediate damage. [comeheargreenville.com]
