Australian researchers have highlighted the importance of safeguarding our hearing, with an estimated 1.5 billion people worldwide experiencing hearing loss, despite longer life expectancies.
Macquarie University’s research has drawn attention to the increasing connection between noise exposure and hearing loss, amidst rising noise pollution from various sources like city streets, loud workplaces, and environments with high noise levels such as explosions and gunfire, and ongoing sounds of heavy machinery or power tools.
