Obviously, a long term effect of exposure to loud noise is hearing loss.

These are signs that your ears need better protection from loud noise. You may experience tinnitus (ringing in the ear). Your ears may feel “full,” like there’s some pressure in them. Have your ears ever felt “clogged” for a couple hours after hearing loud noises? That’s a short term effect of exposure to loud noises while shooting at a gun range or attending a rock concert. Guitars and amps “cranked up” make some concerts painful on the ears. Hunters, police, soldiers, and musicians especially need to protect their hearing.

When you have to shout to the person next to you just to get your point across, you’re in an area where the noise is so loud that it could literally hurt your ears. The louder the noise, and the longer you hear it, the more likely you are to experience hearing damage. No one wants these problems, but many get them because we’re all exposed to extremely loud noises. We know too many people with hearing loss and chronic tinnitus, which is a constant ringing in the ears.
