Noise Induced Hearing Loss
Noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) is one of the biggest occupational health problems facing us today.
It is permanent and irreversible, but it is also preventable. NIHL is a gradual process and
when hearing damage occurs it is too late. For more information click here
NIHL disease occurs mainly in men, with the highest rates occurring in energy and extraction,
construction and manufacturing industries. It is the second most common reason for occupational
health-related employers’ liability insurance claims. There is an estimated 11,000 cases of hearing loss
caused by noise every year. See the government statistics here
