hearing loss is not a problem of loudness, but also clarity.-
“Voices may sound garbled or ‘unintelligible if there is

Harrison said the compensation: board’s hearing branch

require employers in industry with high noise levels to.

provide annual hearing tests for employees.

. “We can pick up on the problem before the person is

change the noise has already “begun to affect pitches which.

If a worker has been exposed to excessive noise for some .
time the problem. is likely caused by noise, but there is a
chance it could be a medical cause. Harrison said members -

of the general public who suspect a hearing problem should
see a physician, who may refer them to an ear specialist for
