Noise-Induced Hearing Loss Featured in Summer Issue of INSIDE

Format: Newsletter

No matter how old or young you are—and no matter whether it’s loud music from an MP3 player, the sudden blast of a hunting rifle, or the roar of a lawn mower—exposure to loud sounds can be harmful to your hearing.

You can read about the effects of noise on hearing and the latest directions in medical research on this topic by reading the summer issue of INSIDE, the online newsletter of NIDCD.

Other topics in this issue of INSIDE include a device that helps drain middle-ear fluid and a new surgery to help relieve a rare form of severe dizziness and hearing loss.
