How do you lose your hearing with loud noises?!


Question: In your inner ear, there is an organ called your cochlea, it is shaped like a snail. In your cochlea, there are small hair-like structures called Organ of Corti. These are your hearing receptors that convey sound to the brain through the auditory nerve. When you listen to loud noises for too long, the Organ of Corti individually can break or wear down. When they break, they no longer work, and when they wear down, they lose their strength of hearing. The fewer working Organ of Corti, the less you will be able to hear. Hope that helps.

eardrum pops

Constant exposure to them

You have tiny hairs in your ear and the loud noises damage them.

You don't lose your hearing because your ear drum popped. I had that happen to me and in all actuality I could hear better when it popped then I could before then. The surgery to repair it is awful though. They cut off my ear, repaired the ear drum and then sewed my ear back on. Painful, very very painful

You shatter ur eardrums i think. dont kill me if im wrong.

the hair cells in your ears vibrate and would be exhausted by the loud sounds and they won't regenerate.

your hair in your ears get damaged by the loud sound waves and thats how it is caused.

Hearing loss means a person can't hear as well as other people do.

TEMPORARY HEARING LOSS can happen after you've been exposed to loud noise ""for any duration"".
Your ears can feel "full," too.
Although your hearing frequently returns to normal, the dangerous part is that you can lose it permanently if you listen to loud noise or music over and over again.

If you are exposed to loud noise over ""a long period of time"", like every day, PERMANENT HEARING LOSS can occur.
This means your hearing won't ever be as good as it once was.

And if you're going to a concert, consider wearing earplugs to protect your ears from the boom, boom, boom!
Take these steps now and you won't be saying "What?" later on.
