One
in 10 people in the U.S. suffer from hearing impairment, which later
troubles an individual’s ability to recognize and understand the
normal speech. Intense sound exposure is one of the most general
causes of impaired hearing. This can be experience at industrial
area, traffic, manufacturing site, and mines. The workers working in
these premises are subjected to high noise levels, which can lead to
long-term hearing loss. There are various basic effective hearing
conservation programs conducted at various industrial and
construction premises, though these rely on use of hearing protection
devices rather than on means to reduce exposure to high noise levels.
A data analysis by National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
in the U.S. stated that the prevalence of hearing impairment between
2000 and 2012 among the teenage group was 5.3-6.0%. Some of the
occupational decibel levels and incidence rates of hearing loss at
age 50 at manufacturing site and farming is 105dB and hearing loss at
age 50 is 30% and 36%, respectively. At construction sites, the
decibel level is 120dB and around 60% of people experience hearing
loss in this sector.
The
global hearing protection market was valued at US$ 908.3 million in
2015 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast
period (2016 – 2024).

Dynamics
A
study conducted by Noise and Health organization in Accura, Ghana, a
total of 101 mill workers were examined and found that 23.7% were
identified with the hearing loss symptoms. According to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics’ (BLS) Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages,
there are of approximately 74% of hearing loss cases in the U.S. due
to manufacturing. Furthermore, approximately 12 million workers in
the country are involved in the manufacturing sector. Bureau of Labor
Statistics’ (BLS) explains that hearing loss is one of the factor
of any individual illness among the manufacturing workers. According
to Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses, in the U.S., in
2012, hearing loss accounted for 12% or 18, 500 cases of all
recordable cases. At the state level, Ohio Survey of Occupational
Injuries and Illnesses data for 2012 recorded a total number hearing
loss factors was in private sector industries itself be around 5,000
cases. Out of 5000 cases, hearing loss cases reported in Ohio’s
manufacturing industries were around 800 to 900 days.
Around
60% of operating engineer working at construction industry report
that they have trouble in understanding speech
An
estimated one-third of the all impaired hearing cases are related to
noise exposure. Occupational noise exposure is the one of the most
common causes of noise induced hearing loss in the U.S. In 2013,
around 10% i.e. around 22 million people of age group 20 to 69 years
in the U.S. suffered from permanent hearing loss as they were exposed
to high or loud noise at construction and/or respective work
environment. Specifically, increasing number of workers at
construction or manufacturing site and increasing adoption of hearing
control devices in developed regions to boost growth of the hearing
protection market. Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the prominent
diseases in the U.S. and the second-largest self-reported
occupational illness or injury. Certain jobs that involve loud noise
exposure include mining, tunneling, drilling, heavy engineering,
operation carried by powerful combustion engines such as trucks,
construction vehicles, etc. With the increase in exposure of workers
to such noise leads to increase prevalence of impaired hearing.
