Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss.
Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but
nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a
sufficient time. We recommend that all persons exposed to equipment capable of
producing high sound pressure levels use hearing protectors.
The U.S. Government’s Occupational and Health Administration (OSHA)
(http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=STANDAR
DS&p_id=9735) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures:
