Law enforcement officers face constant noise exposure on the job—screeching radios, honking traffic, barking K-9s, loud crowds, wailing sirens, and the explosive sounds of firearms or flashbangs. These sounds are not just momentary distractions; over time, they can cause permanent hearing damage.
Hearing loss often goes unnoticed until it becomes a serious issue. That is why regular hearing exams are essential for protecting both your health and your ability to perform your duties safely.
Why Get a Hearing Exam?
- You may not realize you have hearing loss – Most people cannot detect their own level of hearing loss without a professional evaluation.
- Hearing health is linked to overall health – Hearing changes can signal underlying conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure.
- Early treatment reduces cognitive decline – Untreated hearing loss has been linked to an increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia.
- Hearing loss increases safety risks on the job – Officers rely on their hearing to detect threats and communicate effectively.
