Noise and hearing information 

Loud noise can damage the sensitive structures within your inner ear, leading to irreversible hearing loss. It’s important to know that loud noises don’t have to be physically painful to cause hearing damage; the harm is cumulative, similar to how exposure to the sun gradually damages your skin even if you don’t get sunburned. The higher the level of sound and the longer the exposure, the more damage is likely to occur.
