Miner / Construction Worker / Carpenter / Manufacturing
Due to the need to use electric tools or mechanical work in the work, it is easy to be in a loud noise environment. When mining ore, the noise level can be as high as 135 decibels; if hammered, it will produce up to 130 decibels. According to research, workers are exposed to 70 decibels or higher at close to 85% working hours, but their hearing protectors are less than 20%. Therefore, such occupations must regularly check hearing and do routine noise protection. Construction equipment units should provide workers with protection machines above 90 decibels.

Audio staff or nightclub staff
This ambient noise level is usually higher than 115 decibels. It is difficult to hear clearly. However, most nightclub staff such as bartenders, guards, and DJs work in such an environment for a long time, which can easily lead to hearing loss. Therefore, it is necessary. Noise protection equipment and regular hearing checks are necessary.

Airport ground crew/air traffic controller
They endure the huge noise generated by the take-off and landing of the aircraft every day.

Motor vehicle driver
In most motor vehicles, such as trucks, cars, and truck drivers, the noise and wind noise generated by motor vehicles can cause hearing damage, and as the driving age increases, the degree of hearing loss will gradually increase.

Stomatologist
A report published in the Environmental and Occupational Medicine indicates that high-frequency turbines (dental-specific mobile phones) used by dentists emit high-frequency sounds (average 6KHz) that cause dentists to be exposed to 4KHz-6KHz (average intensity 70-77 decibels) There is a phenomenon in which the threshold is increased in the noise. Moreover, the right-handed dentist has significant hearing loss in his left ear. When the dentist uses a dental handpiece above 20 cm, the noise is below 80 decibels. When the distance is 10 cm, the noise generated by the high-speed turbine (dental-dedicated mobile phone) and ultrasonic cleaning is greater than 85 decibels. Therefore, the dentist needs regular hearing tests.

If your occupation is mentioned in the above, you must pay attention to hearing health, regularly test your hearing, and do a good job in preventing hearing.
