Noise induced hearing loss

Noise induced tinnitus seems to be the one making the most headlines with expressed concern over how music devises promoting “loud noise” can be contributing to the growing problem. However, there still seems to be a real lack of awareness out there about the dangers of noised induced hearing loss and tinnitus.

You don’t have to look far to find evidence of that. Just walk into your nearest movie theatre and feel the noise decibels go through your body. The audio levels are so unnecessarily loud that you should consider wearing ear plugs. 

Concert goers should be warned about the risks of standing to close concert speakers.  There needs to be a law that obliges concerts, clubs and venue owners to promote awareness against temporary or permanent hearing loss and tinnitus caused by exposure to loud noise. 

There is currently no cure for tinnitus and most insurance companies still do not recognize tinnitus as a debilitating condition and will not cover medical expenses.
