Risk Factors for Hearing Loss<br />

Health risks from excessive noise exposure include<br />

permanent hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing in the ears).<br />

Other factors such as genetics, exposure to smoke,<br />

pesticides, chemical solvents and certain medications<br />

increase the risk of hearing loss. Some of these factors<br />

make noise exposure more damaging to hearing than noise<br />

exposure alone. The dosimeter predicts average risk, not<br />

individual risk.<br />
