A member asked:
If someone yells quite loudly, and i am around them for two hours every monday, thursday and friday, since about three years ago, am i likely to suffer hearing loss?

May not : Some one screaming once in a while should not cause hearing loss. Most often progressive hearing loss occurs due to constant noise at the same frequency and high decibel levels. Occupations that are prone airport personnel on the field, jackhammers, rock concerts- sounds ranging above 90 db. It is hard to predict who are prone and how long it may take.
