Hearing loss: Prevention of hearing loss: 1. Do not expose yourself to loud noises above 85 decibels. 2. Any constant sustained noises damage the hearing apparatus. 3. A student explosion or close range gun shot can also permanently damage your ears 4. If you are in an occupation such as in the airport, construction workers using hammer drills, chainsaws- use protective ear plugs or ear muffs.
