12. Exposure to extremely high noise
levels may cause permanent hearing loss.
Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility
to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly
everyone will lose some hearing if exposed
to sufficiently intense noise for a period of
time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the
permissible noise level exposures shown in the following chart.
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits
could result in some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially dangerous
exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons
exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels
use hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation. Ear plugs or
protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating
the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing loss if exposure is in
excess of the limits set forth here.
