About This Quiz

This November quiz focuses on Hearing Safety Awareness, emphasizing the importance of wearing hearing protection to prevent loss. It covers true\/false questions on noise exposure and crew responsibilities, underlining crucial safety practices in noisy environments.

2.

The only way a person "gets used to" a noise over time is by losing more and more of their hearing.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

This statement is true because as a person's hearing deteriorates over time, they may become accustomed to certain noises that were once loud or bothersome. This is due to the gradual loss of sensitivity to sound, which can make the noise seem less noticeable or bothersome. Therefore, the only way for someone to "get used to" a noise over time is by experiencing a decline in their hearing ability.
