Recreational noise-induced hearing loss is a growing issue that affects both young individuals and adults. Constant exposure to recreational noise, such as from personal listening devices or nightclubs, may be a significant contributor to cumulative hearing damage. Due to a lack of detailed data that captures day-to-day noise exposure patterns, this study adopted asimulation-based modeling approach. The methodology consisted of two parts: a mathematical model in the form of a differential equation and a simulated dataset. The differential equation modeled the progression of hearing loss based on the following factors: age-related vulnerability,individual sensitivity, and noise exposure dose. The simulated dataset was created using NIOSH occupational hearing safety guidelines. It consisted of 5000 subjects, whose daily noise exposureand listening times were generated over 365 days. Fitting the simulated data into the mathematical model showed a strong association between that long-term exposure above the 100% NIOSH dose threshold and greater cumulative damage. Additionally, age-related vulnerability and biological sensitivity were found to significantly influence individual susceptibility to hearing loss. This study provides a useful framework for tracking hearing loss progression and assessing potential risks associated with intense listening habits
