Many of us work in noise. Sometimes it is pretty obvious. Factory work, for instance. For others, it isn’t so clean cut.
Construction sites are very loud and there is a lot of new building construction taking place in downtown St. Petersburg.
Take a policeman directing traffic. Traffic is pretty loud and can cause hearing loss over time. Or wait staff in a restaurant. Some restaurants are extremely loud.
If you, or a loved one works in situations similar to these, hearing protection and a hearing conservation program are imperative.
Noise exposure can lead to other problems as well: headache, nervousness, stress and insomnia, to name a few.
If you are subjected to noise at work, give us a call we can help you.
