Can excessive amounts of loud sounds cause Tinnitus?
People who are exposed to loud music are more likely to experience temporary Tinnitus. If one is exposed to loud sounds over long periods of time it result in permanent damage. Overexposure to Loud Noises: Repeated exposure to loud noises such as guns, aircraft, lawn mowers, movie theaters, amplified music, heavy construction, etc, can cause permanent hearing damage. Some people report auditory fatigue from driving over long distances with the windows open. Anybody regularly exposed to these conditions should consider wearing ear plugs or other hearing protection. (Please do not wear ear plugs on a continuous basis as this can lead to hyper sensitive hearing).
