According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), \u201coccupational hearing loss is the most common work-related injury in the United States.\u201d It is estimated that $242 million is spent on injury benefits for hearing loss disabilities each year, and approximately 22 million workers in the U.S. are exposed to dangerous sound levels at work.<\/p>\n
Firefighters, paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) are at risk of suffering hearing loss from exposure to sirens. Sirens play an important role for emergency service vehicles, allowing them to make their way through traffic and busy intersections to the scene of a fire or to transport ill or injured patients to medical facilities. The people who are exposed to these sirens on a regular basis, however, may be at risk of suffering from permanent hearing loss.<\/p>\n
According to the CDC website, an ambulance siren is located dangerously high on the Medidor de sonido NIOSH<\/a>. Para dar una idea de d\u00f3nde se ubica una sirena de ambulancia en esta lista, es m\u00e1s fuerte que un taladro de percusi\u00f3n neum\u00e1tica y justo debajo de un motor a reacci\u00f3n en el despegue. El sitio web tiene una sirena de ambulancia listada a 120 decibelios, muy por encima del l\u00edmite recomendado de 85 decibelios. Las exposiciones a 85 decibelios o m\u00e1s pueden provocar p\u00e9rdida de audici\u00f3n inducida por ruido.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Si usted es bombero, t\u00e9cnico de emergencias m\u00e9dicas o param\u00e9dico y sufre de p\u00e9rdida auditiva causada por la exposici\u00f3n continua a las sirenas, puede ser elegible para recibir\u00a0Beneficios por lesiones en el cumplimiento del deber<\/strong> en lugar de la compensaci\u00f3n de los trabajadores.
