Hi there. I’m interested in medicine so I read a lot about many diseases. Now, I’m reading about NIHL and I want to know how noise-induced hearing loss is characterized. Is it some kind of hearing sensitivity, or is it something completely different? Thank you in advance for your answer.

NIHL is characterized by a gradual, progressive loss of high frequency hearing sensitivity over time, as a result of exposure to excessive noise levels. It is loss of ability to distinguish high frequency sounds, can affect all ages. Farmers, workers, and family members are potential victims of NIHL due to excessive noise exposure and little use of hearing protection during routine farm work. .Doctors says that the symptoms of NIHL are usually presented equally in both ears.
