Snoring Can Lead To Hearing Loss

February 5th, 2008 | by snory |

Snoring irritates both the snorer and the entire family. But just how much noise does a snorer make? The average snore can reach up to 80 decibels. Decibels are a way to measure the loudness of a sound. At 80 decibel, this surpasses the US Environmentals Protection Agency’s standard for safe noise pollution.

For heavy snorers, this can take a huge toll on ones hearing. While ear damage is said to occur after 85 decibels, but over an 8 hour night of sleep, 80 decibels can still be quite damaging.

You now have yet another reason to find a cure for your snoring. If your partner snores you know better than anyone how loud snoring can be. Encourage your partner or spouse to see a doctor to stop the snoring
