Noise at work can cause hearing damage that is permanent and disabling. This damage is preventable if the right steps are taken — but once your hearing has gone, it will not come back. It can also interfere with communications by stopping people from being able to understand or follow conversations, and it can make verbal warnings or alarms harder to hear. These issues can lead to further safety risks that could lead to people being injured or even killed.
