At the G20 summit in Osaka last week, #dementia was declared a Global Health Priority. Hearing loss is proven to be the largest potentially modifiable risk factor (9.1%) causing dementia.
By carrying out a noise risk assessment and the appropriate training in your workplace, we can entirely prevent Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) in the workplace and help to reduce dementia.
