  • 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]

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]

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]
