What noises are dangerous?

What treatment for hearing loss is the most common?
What industries are the most dangerous from the point of view of hearing loss?
How medicines affect hearing? Which of them are harmful?
2. Say whether the following statements are true or false:
Hearing loss is a very frequent disease in the United States.
Exposure to loud noise is the most common cause of hearing loss.
Noise induced hearing loss has been reported to be accompanied by a ringing in the ears.
Physical measurements of the sound can determine whether it exceeds dangerous levels, and most factories have access to the necessary equipment.
If diminished hearing or a sense of fullness in the ears is experienced after noise exposure, the level of that noise is not damaging.
There are also many agents found in industry which can also damage hearing in addition to industrial noise exposure.
The most common cause for hearing loss is tobacco.
The effect of solvents is potentiated even more by exposure to ethanol.
Compressible foam ear plugs (not water plugs) and ear muffs WHEN FITTED PROPERLY can decrease the noise exposure level by over 20 dB.
Ear plugs reduce noise most efficiently in the low frequencies, below the speech range.
New research indicates that several types of drugs when taken before or immediately after noise exposure may mitigate the damage to the inner ear.

Taк как лечение потери слуха, вызванной длительным воздействием громких звуков практически не поддается лечению, лучше всего избегать их. Индивидуальные приспособления для снижения уровня шума (не для плавания), сделанные из специальной пены, могут снизить уровень шума до 20 dB, если они правильно установлены; тогда как классические индивидуальные приспособления для снижения уровня шума понижают его до 29 dB. Все приспособления для снижения уровня шума действуют примерно одинаково, однако те, которые сделаны из специальной пены, стоят дороже и сильно нагреваются при высокой температуре, но также могут быть использованы пациентами с заболеваниями ушного канала.
Например, во время охоты могут быть использованы электронные индивидуальные приспособления для снижения уровня шума, которые поглощают шум именно от выстрелов, в то время как остальные окружающие звуки слышны. Большинство людей отказываются от использования индивидуальных приспособлений для снижения уровня шума, так как считают, что они могут затруднить восприятие речи окружающих людей, но на самом деле это не так, потому что редукции подвергаются только звуки, находящиеся в диапазоне ниже человеческой речи.
Исследования отмечают, что также при приеме некоторых групп медикаментов сразу после воздействия высокого уровня шума или незадолго до этого могут нивелировать негативное действие или повреждение внутреннего уха. Это касается следующих групп препаратов: антиоксидантов, антагонистов глютамина рецепторов и нейротрофинов.
Важно помнить, что основным и самым распространенным следствием воздействия высокого уровня шума является полная потеря слуха. В таком случае единственным возможным лечением может быть использование слухового аппарата. В связи с этим следует отметить, что профилактика и по возможности избегание негативного воздействия высокого уровня шума и использование индивидуальных устройств для снижения уровня шума жизненно важно.
