Importance of Hearing Protection When noise is too loud, it damages the nerve endings in the ear. Prolonged exposure to loud noise destroys nerve endings. Your ability to hear depends on the health of these nerve endings. There is no way to restore life to dead nerve endings; the damage is permanent. The longer you are exposed to a loud noise, the more damaging it may be. Also, the closer you are to the source of intense noise, the more damaging it is.
