Permanent hearing loss is a permanent compromise of a sensory function, and serves no protective function. Certainly there is more than enough evidence to correlate hearing loss with noise exposure. Industrial workplaces are regulated to limit noise exposure or provide adequate hearing protection. If your ears are shutting down because it's too loud then heed their warning and protect your hearing. Copyright 2000 Anton Niedersteiner, All rights reserved.
