Dr. Konstantina Stankovic explained that the auditory system can be more sensitive after being in a quiet environment, similar to how the visual system reacts to changes in light. This highlights the importance of gradual exposure to normal sound levels.

The new Meta glasses will feature a heads-up display and can show subtitles for people speaking, enhancing communication in loud environments.

The best treatment option for tinnitus currently is a cochlear implant, which improves peripheral function and allows the brain to recalibrate, effectively reducing symptoms for many patients.

Hearable technologies are emerging that can listen to voices and determine what is best for immediate health and mental states.

Magnesium can protect against noise-induced hearing loss. Studies in countries with mandatory military service showed that those who took magnesium before exposure to loud noises had less hearing loss.

For every 3-decibel increase in sound intensity, the safe time exposure is halved. For example, 80 decibels is safe for 8 hours, but 83 decibels is only safe for 4 hours.

The American Academy of Otolaryngology endorses two main interventions for tinnitus: amplification with a hearing aid and sound therapy, both of which have shown to make a difference.

Hidden hearing loss can occur even if standard audiometric tests show normal results. This happens when synapses connecting sensory cells to neurons are damaged by loud sounds, leading to issues like tinnitus.
