An effective hearing loss prevention program will cost you both time and money. Noise-induced hearing loss is debilitating, and you can't cure it with hearing aids.
Noise destroys many noise-sensing cells in the inner ear that no hearing aid can replace.
Because this hearing loss occurs gradually over many years, people often only detect it when they have difficulty communicating with others or find it hard to hear safety signals in the workplace. In the long run, a good hearing loss prevention program is good for business. Follow the law First of all, if your workplace is noisy, the law may require you to monitor the noise and enroll your workers in a hearing conservation program. By following state and federal health and safety rules, you can avoid substantial fines or penalties. Employers have not experienced a flood of claims for occupational hearing loss since the hearing conservation amendment became effective.
