Why consider NHCA?

Home >> About Us

Why should you consider NHCA as part your professional life? Here we'll discuss why NHCA exists, who we are, and why membership is important to people involved with hearing loss prevention.

• NIOSH indicates that up to 30 million American workers may be at risk to hazardous noise on the job. That's one in five.
  
  
• Effective prevention of hearing loss takes the cooperative efforts of various professionals for noise control, hearing evaluation, exposure assessment, training and education, and other issues.
  
  
• Hearing loss due to noise and other environmental factors is a pervasive problem. Not just noisy jobs, but noisy tools, toys, recreational activities, and other things make our society a risky place for ears.
  

That's the reason for NHCA—the only national organization dedicated to prevent hearing loss due to noise and other environmental factors in all sectors of society.
