Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) affects approximately 10 million of the 40 million Americans with hearing loss, yet it remains preventable with proper awareness and protection strategies. Unlike age-related hearing loss, NIHL can occur at any age and often results from exposure to harmful noise levels in both occupational and recreational settings.

This infographic presents critical facts about NIHL, including how it occurs, warning signs to watch for, and practical prevention tips backed by leading health organizations. We believe this resource is valuable for hearing healthcare professionals to share with patients who may be at risk for noise-induced hearing damage.
