According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), \u201coccupational hearing loss is the most common work-related injury in the United States.\u201d It is estimated that $242 million is spent on injury benefits for hearing loss disabilities each year, and approximately 22 million workers in the U.S. are exposed to dangerous sound levels at work.<\/p>\n
Firefighters, paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) are at risk of suffering hearing loss from exposure to sirens. Sirens play an important role for emergency service vehicles, allowing them to make their way through traffic and busy intersections to the scene of a fire or to transport ill or injured patients to medical facilities. The people who are exposed to these sirens on a regular basis, however, may be at risk of suffering from permanent hearing loss.<\/p>\n
According to the CDC website, an ambulance siren is located dangerously high on the Sonom\u00e8tre NIOSH<\/a>. Pour donner une id\u00e9e de la place d'une sir\u00e8ne d'ambulance dans cette liste, elle est plus bruyante qu'une perceuse \u00e0 percussion pneumatique et juste en dessous d'un moteur \u00e0 r\u00e9action au d\u00e9collage.
