Noisier world linked to increase in hearing loss With one in seven people globally expected to have tinnitus at some point, Australian researchers are raising awareness on how to prevent deafness and hearing loss, AAP reports. It is estimated 1.5 billion people worldwide have measurable hearing loss in light of increasing life expectancy and more noise exposure.
Signs of early hearing loss come in the form of tinnitus, commonly described as a ringing or roaring sound with a lack of external stimulus. Matthieu Recugnat from Macquarie University says it’s almost like hearing cicadas in a closed room. Recugnat told AAP: But it is a lot more complex than that because people will be different and have different perceptions. It has different impacts on their lifestyle and on their quality of life in general.
