Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the second most common acquired hearing loss following presbycusis. Exposure to recreational noise and minimal use of hearing protection increase the prevalence of NIHL in young females. NIHL is irreversible. Identifying minor hearing pathologies before they progress to hearing problems that affect daily life is crucial.
