Hearing loss - Exposure to high sound
levels can cause permanent hearing loss.
The sound pressure level which leads to
hearing loss varies considerably from one person to
another, and depends on the duration of exposure.
The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Healt
Administration (OSHA) has established the maximum
sound pressure levels that can be with stood without
causing damage, which are shown in the table below.
According to the OSHA regulations, any exposure over
the maximum limits indicated in the table can reduce
the hearing capacity of a person. To prevent poten-
tially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure
levels, anyone subjected to such levels must use sui-
table protection. When an product capable of produ-
cing high sound levels is being used, it is therefore
necessary to wear ear plugs or protective earphones
when the limits shown in the table are exceeded.
