American Workers Risk Hearing Loss, But Solutions Exist
An estimated 22 million American workers are exposed to hazardous noise levels at work each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
Occupational hearing loss (OHL) is the third most common chronic physical condition among adults, after hypertension and arthritis – and it’s proven costly for employers. American businesses pay an estimated $242 million annually in workers compensation claims tied to hearing loss, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
May is Better Hearing and Speech Month, and NIOSH, insurers, and various nonprofits, are spreading the word about hearing health.

SBA”) and the Department of Treasury released an Interim Final Rule called “Business Loan Program Temporary Changes; Paycheck Protection Program as Amended by Economic Aid Act” (sometimes referred to as the “
Consolidated First Draw PPP IFR” or the “
IFR”). That rule restates existing regulatory provisions into a single regulation on borrower eligibility, lender eligibility, and loan application or origination requirement issues for new First Draw PPP Loans, as well as general rules relating to First Draw PPP Loan increases and loan forgiveness.
