1. Hairdressers
Hairdryers are essential tools for barbers and hairstylists, and data show that when multiple hair dryers are used at the same time, the noise often reaches about 85 decibels, and studies show that if you are exposed to such a loud noise for more than 8 hours, you are likely to experience progressive hearing loss.
2. Kindergarten teachers
Kindergarten teachers work with a group of cute kids, and they often make a lot of noise, and the noise often reaches 85 dB. In order to prevent hearing loss, we hope that kindergarten teachers can have a hearing test once a year.
3. Orchestra/Music Lovers
Musicians who rehearse and perform frequently may suffer from noise hearing loss due to the long-term possibility of being exposed to music as loud as 85dB~105dB. Another study showed that 59 out of 139 orchestra musicians had hearing loss higher than their age. Need to care for hearing health oh!
4. Miners/construction workers/carpenters/manufacturing
Because of the work requires the use of power tools or machinery in the operation, it is very easy to be in a greater intensity of noise environment. Noise levels can be as high as 135 decibels when mining ore, or as high as 130 decibels when hitting with a hammer. According to studies, workers are exposed to frequencies of 85 decibels or higher nearly 70 percent of the time they work, but they have hearing protection less than 20 percent of the time. Therefore, it is important for these occupations to have regular hearing checks with proper daily noise protection. Construction equipment units should provide workers with protective machines that are 90 decibels or higher.
5. Sound personnel or nightclub staff
This environmental noise level is usually higher than 115 decibels, and it is difficult to hear what is being said. However, most of the bartenders, doormen, DJs, and other nightclub staff work in such an environment for long periods of time, which can easily lead to hearing damage, and therefore, the necessary noise protection equipment as well as a regular check of the hearing is necessary.
6. F1 Racers
Racers in the cockpit of the F1 car, driving the sound generated by the car may be as high as 135dB, so for racers in this profession, it is important to do a good job of ear protection measures, may reduce the risk of hearing loss.
7. Gardening workers
Distribution of clean and tidy, beautiful and pleasant flowers and trees in the streets, parks, etc., these are from the gardening workers holding lawn mowers to endure a huge noise in exchange for, you know that the normal operation of these machines can produce up to 107 dB of noise, so they also need to use anti-noise ear plugs or hood type noise protection equipment.
8. Bus Drivers and Passengers
Bus drivers are often in noisy traffic environments during their daily commute, with passengers clamoring and loud commuter music playing nearby. It's not just traffic jams they have to deal with in their careers, but also headaches and earaches. In addition, commuters can be at risk: in an effort to minimize the noise around them, such as other commuters talking around them and the background noise from bus***s or trains, some commuters raise their speech volume to 100db, which can pose a risk of damaging the eardrum and inner ear.
9. Airport ground crews/air traffic controllers
They have to put up with a lot of noise from planes taking off and landing on a daily basis, with measurements of aircraft landing and takeoff noise levels tested as high as 140dB. It's important that you have good protection against noise and have your hearing checked on a regular basis for this type of work!
10. Firefighters/ambulance drivers/troopers
Numerous studies have shown the prevalence of hearing disability among firefighters and emergency vehicle drivers, and most have found that firefighters have an increased loss of hearing compared to the general population of the same age. Those troopers who are constantly in live exercises with gunfire, explosions, airplane engines, etc., with a large amount of equipment and weapons up to 140dB, can only greatly disrupt hearing.
11. motor vehicle drivers
Most motor vehicles such as trucks, cars, vans drivers, motor vehicles produce noise, wind noise can cause hearing damage, and with the increase in driving age, the degree of hearing loss will gradually increase. The effect of wind noise is often evident for drivers with hearing loss in the left ear, and also varies depending on the driving position in different countries. Therefore, it is important for motorists to have regular hearing examinations and to be equipped with hearing protection devices such as anti-noise earplugs or earmuffs to reduce the risk of hearing loss.
12. Dentists
A report published in Environmental and Occupational Medicine indicates that the high frequency sound (6KHz on average) emitted by high-speed turbine phones (dental handpieces) used by dentists results in an elevated threshold for dentists exposed to noise from 4KHz to 6KHz (average intensity 70-77 dB). Furthermore, right-handed dentists had significant hearing loss in their left ear. When dentists use dental handpieces above 20 cm, the noise generated is below 80 dB, and when the distance is 10 cm, the noise generated by high-speed turbine handpieces (dental handpieces) and ultrasonic scaling is greater than 85 dB. Therefore, dentists need to conduct regular hearing examinations.
If your occupation is mentioned above, be sure to pay attention to hearing health, regular hearing tests, do a good job of preventive hearing Oh
