Over the past few decades, considerable attention has been given to the mechanisms and features of noise induced hearing loss. the sound levels in urban communities are apparently rising and the nuisance valve of unwanted sound is greatly increased. The most serious pathological effect of noise on man is hearing loss leading to complete deafness. The victim is generally unaware of it in the early stages. Repeated and continuous exposure to noise above 90 dB(A) may result in permanent hearing loss.
