What is Noise Induced Hearing Loss?

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the loss of hearing due to exposure to loud noises, either over an extended period or from a single exposure to an extremely loud noise. These can be common with occupational exposure to loud machines or music.

Typical Symptoms of Noise Induced Hearing Loss

Diagnostic Questions for Noise Induced Hearing Loss

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Do you have trouble hearing?
  • Have you been exposed to loud noises, like at a construction site or live concert?
  • Do you have ringing in your ears?
  • Do you have a high pitched metallic tone or whistling sound in your ear?
  • Are you currently dizzy?

Treatment of Noise Induced Hearing Loss

For single exposures to loud noises, steroids may help reduce the degree of hearing loss. However, for long-term loud noise exposure, treatment cannot reverse the hearing loss. Hearing aids can help if the loss is severe enough. Prevention is the best treatment by using high-quality hearing protection during times of exposure.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Female, 40s

I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
