Pointer - Season 6 Episode 6 Lawaai op de werkvloer
Overview: About 900,000 people are exposed to harmful noise during their work. And that can, for example, lead to a ringing in your ear, hypersensitivity to sound or hearing loss. Sometimes this is due to a loud bang, such as when police officer Raya had a fireworks bomb thrown at her head. Much more often, however, hearing damage occurs gradually, due to long-term exposure to noise that is slightly too loud. For example, lifeguard Jack tells Pointer that he suspects his hearing loss was caused by all those hours in a reverberating swimming pool. What can employers do to prevent the risks of hearing complaints? And are they doing enough?
