A loud noise exposure contributed to my hearing loss, which eventually cost me my job. I speak from personal experience. People are introduced to how we hear and where, how, and why loud sound damages hearing—both on and off the job. In the interest of safety for self and for the team, other safety concerns related to excessively loud sound are also discussed. People also learn to appreciate how hearing loss affects the quality of life in general. There is indeed a lot of motivation to protect ears and hearing.
