Construction Noise & Hearing Loss Prevention Research & Resources
Despite decades of awareness, noise-induced hearing loss remains a serious and under-addressed issue. New research from CPWR’s Building Trades National Medical Screening (BTMed) program, based on health screenings of over 20,000 construction workers, reveals a troubling connection: hearing loss is not only widespread in our industry, but it’s also linked to increased risks of mortality and dementia.
