CDC Study Says One in Four U.S. Adults have Hearing Damage
In a recent study, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researchers found that many U.S. adults have damage from noise exposure despite reporting good hearing.
Even if a person doesn’t have job-related noise exposure, he/she still could experience hearing damage or loss at home or in the community.
A survey released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discovered one in four U.S. adults, as young as their early 20s, have hearing damage caused by loud noises encountered in everyday activities outside of the workplace.
