A Hearing Test Is Extra Important If You Have A Loud Job
Adults have to work. It's how they make a living, pay down debt, make major purchases, raise a family, and cover emergency expenses as well. Employment is a necessity, but hearing loss as a result of one's occupation doesn't have to be just another part of life. A hearing test can help you identify cumulative damage that your job may be causing.
Sadly, there are some jobs out there that put someone's hearing at risk. Yes it is true that daily expose to high decibel volumes (over 80 decibels) from the basic appliances such as a blender or vacuum or basic transportation such as highway noise or car horns, or even the occasional radio volume and concert makes incremental damage to the delicate hairs of the inner ear that process sound making them less receptive over time. But it takes a long time over an unreasonable level or multiple exposures over a long period of time, such as with one's job which can be anywhere from 4 days a week to 7 days a week, depending on whether the person is a part-time employee all the way up to management or an entrepreneur. In fact, the jobs that carry a particularly high risk for causing hearing loss and the requirement for a hearing test are not only particularly loud but involve a significant amount of vibrations in general either can cause physical damage and therefore damage auditory function within the ear and therefore to the receptor connection to the brain for processing.
Some of the jobs where people should consider getting a hearing test at the same time as their annual physical include work in the out of doors with people who are around loud machinery. Engines and most forms of machinery and electronics, including those for the production of music, tend to be loud, period. Therefore occupational hearing loss risks are higher for individuals working with construction, music, airline ground maintenance and even farming machinery. Although in the United States, occupational exposure is regulated, these jobs still pose a long term risk but it is particularly threatening when it comes to those other occupations out there where there isn't a perceived threat to hearing with daily exposure so protective measures aren't taken. Then men and women across the country and around the world, performing those jobs, are left assuming that there is nothing that could have been done to prevent their loss, so they live with it or get hearing aid devices. They are often under the assumption that ever function will eventually begin to fail them as they age, or even the fallacy that it will get better on its own, but the fact is diminished senses is a genetic and age related issue not one of overexposure which is, in fact, preventable.
