Noise is one of the most common workplace hazards, affecting approximately 22 million U.S. workers annually. Prolonged exposure to high noise levels can lead to temporary or permanent hearing loss, depending on the intensity and duration of the noise. To protect workers, OSHA has implemented the Hearing Conservation Program, designed to prevent hearing impairment in noisy work environments.
