Hearing conservation is the prevention of hearing loss.
Although traditional hearing conservation efforts have focused solely on noise in the workplace, the goal of the National Hearing Conservation Association (NHCA) is to prevent ALL hearing loss - whether it results from workplace noise or other environmental factors - in all sectors of society. NHCA strives to be the premier resource for individuals involved in hearing loss prevention.
