This week, new research will be released that shows 17% of people who are in a car when airbags deploy will suffer permanent hearing loss. The results come from an independent consultant presenting a wide range of other hearing dangers at the annual meeting of the National Hearing Conservation Association.
Other everyday noises that could cause damage range from a hammer hitting a nail to the sound of a baby’s rattle, but the airbag findings could have a major impact on how automakers design the safety equipment.
