Noise-related hearing loss is one of the most common work-related illnesses. Construction and entertainment are the most dangerous industries when it comes to hearing loss. It's important to be careful about long time exposure of your home appliances which can have long-term, harmful effects on your hearing such as vacuum cleaners, blenders, hair dryers, and other loud appliances. To prevent hearing loss from headphones, opt for an over-the-ear set, rather than in-ear ear buds. You should also have periodical check of your hearing at hearing healthcare clinics.
