Noise-induced hearing loss is still considered one of the most common work-related illnesses in the United States of America. The U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health launched a national Buy Quiet campaign to raise awareness of the importance of purchasing quieter equipment. Buy Quiet encourages companies to seek out and demand quieter equipment thus driving the market to design and create quieter products. In the long run, investment in noise controls should be more prevalent as the market demands quieter products. This paradigm occurs as the market for quieter products expands both from the supply side (manufacturers) and the demand side (tool and equipment purchasers). The key to experiencing the reduced costs and increased benefits of Buy Quiet will be to develop partnerships between manufacturers and consumers. To this end, the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health continues to work with partners to educate stakeholders about the risks and true costs of noise-induced hearing loss, as well as the economic benefits of buying quieter equipment.

在美国采取安静的举措。


噪音引起的听力损失仍然被认为是美国最常见的工作相关疾病之一。美国国家职业安全与健康研究所发起了一项全国性“购买安静”运动，以提高人们对购买安静设备重要性的认识。 “购买安静”鼓励公司寻找和需求更安静的设备，从而推动市场设计和创造更安静的产品。从长远来看，随着市场需要更安静的产品，对噪声控制的投资应该更加普遍。当安静产品的市场从供应方（制造商）和需求方（工具和设备购买者）扩大时，就会出现这种范例。体验“Buy Quiet”降低成本和增加收益的关键是在制造商和消费者之间建立合作伙伴关系。为此，美国国家职业安全与健康研究所继续与合作伙伴合作，让利益相关者了解噪音引起的听力损失的风险和真实成本，以及购买安静设备的经济效益。
