hearing  noise  How Loud is Too Loud  noisyplanet  Measure Sound 

Oímos muchos tipos de sonidos todos los días. Si bien muchos de esos sonidos son seguros, los sonidos que son demasiado fuertes y duran demasiado tiempo pueden dañar la audición de manera permanente. Mientras más alto sea el sonido, mayor será el daño a la audición y más rápido podría ocurrir el daño. Esto se llama pérdida de audición inducida por el ruido (noise-induced hearing loss, NIHL).
