Both kinds can erode your hearing over time.
The loss is painless, gradual and permanent.
By the time you notice you’re losing your
hearing, the damage is already done. Here are
some telltale signs:
•
You have trouble understanding conver-
sations, especially with background noise.
•
You keep cranking up the volume on your
stereo and TV because you can’t make out
the words.
But it’s more serious than that. Good hearing is critical in
combat, and hearing loss impairs your performance. You can
no longer clearly hear radio messages or verbal orders. Nor
can you detect the sounds of combat: approaching vehicles, the
closing of a rifle bolt or enemy footsteps on leaves and twigs.
The good news is, you can prevent hearing loss caused by
noise. Here are a few suggestions:
•
Get rid of the noise or reduce the noise level.
•
Wear hearing protection: earplugs, noise muffs or helmets
with ear cups, like the aircrew integrated helmet system or the
combat vehicle crewman’s helmet.
•
Limit the amount of time you spend around noise or increase
your distance from the noise.
Your safety ofFce or preventive medicine people can test your workplace for
dangerous noise levels. They’ll tell you what kind of hearing protection to use.
To learn more about hazardous noise and saving your hearing, go to the U.S.

Loss!
Soldiers live
and work in a
world of
loud
noises!
There’s
steady-
state noise,
the
kind you’re exposed
to when you ride in
military aircraft or
armored vehicles
or operate shop
equipment.
Then there’s
high-frequency
impulse noise
from weapons
fire.
