Hi there. I’ve heard about NIHL but I don’t know much about it. I wanted you to explain me can noise-induced hearing loss be caused by acoustic trauma? Is it difficult to prevent it? I hope you will answer me soon because I am very curious. Thank you in advance for your time.

Noise-induced hearing loss is categorized as either noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) or acoustic trauma. Acoustic trauma is a common cause of sensory hearing loss Acoustic trauma is caused by a single, loud noise or explosion that damages the inner ear. This form of NIHL commonly results from exposure to high-intensity sounds such as explosions, gunfire, and firecrackers.
