Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "Hunter's notch" is a term for hearing loss that is commonly found in hunters and shooters due to repeated exposure to loud noises. This type of hearing loss is caused by damage to the hair cells in the inner ear, which cannot be repaired or regenerated. Wearing ear protection can help prevent this type of hearing loss.
