New White Paper: The Hidden Cost of Untreated Hearing Loss

Soundtrace published a comprehensive review of peer-reviewed research linking untreated occupational hearing loss to dementia, cardiovascular disease, workplace injuries, and depression.

Soundtrace released a new health-outcomes paper, The Hidden Cost of Untreated Hearing Loss: Dementia, Heart Disease, and Beyond, making the case for hearing conservation programs that go beyond minimum OSHA compliance.

The paper synthesizes peer-reviewed research showing 5× higher dementia risk, 48% increased cardiovascular disease risk, and 3× more workplace injuries among workers with untreated hearing loss — and offers an economic framing of prevention versus treatment costs that EHS leaders can use to anchor program-investment conversations.
