Pérdida de la audición a causa del trabajo

Prevención:

Es necesario que la persona se proteja los oídos si está expuesta a ruidos muy fuertes. Asimismo, se deben emplear tapones para los oídos u orejeras para protegerse contra el daño producido por equipos ruidosos. De igual manera, las personas deben ser conscientes de los riesgos que generan las actividades recreativas tales como disparar un arma, conducir vehículos de nieve u otras actividades similares. Se recomienda no escuchar música a alto volumen por períodos prolongados.
