TOO MUCH NOISE Sources: American Speech-Language-Hearing Association; Center for Hearing and Communications; National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders Sounds above this level can cause hearing loss after just one exposure. The sound of an ambulance siren is about 1 trillion times more intense than the weakest sound your ears can hear. Regular exposure of more than one minute puts you at risk for permanent hearing loss. More than 15 minutes of exposure puts you at risk for permanent hearing loss. Lengthy exposure to sounds louder than this can cause permanent hearing loss over time.
