Exposure to loud noise — commonly in a working environment — causes cumulative damage to the delicate components of the inner ear.

Some extreme noises such as explosions and earthquakes, are so loud and powerful, that they can instantly damage the tiny hair cells in the ear (a phenomena known as stereocilia), but this is rare, unlike continual exposure in the workplace which is very common.
An individual who worked in a noisy environment and was subjected to prolonged loud noise may be suffering from Hearing Loss.
