Save Your Hearing Day

Prolonged exposure to loud noise causes hair cells of the inner ear to be damaged, leading to permanent hearing loss. Musicians are 57% more likely to experience tinnitus and are almost four times more likely to develop Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) than the general public.

You can help protect your hearing, starting today. The most important thing you can do is protect your ears from loud noises. Any sound that's loud enough to hurt your ears, prompt temporary hearing loss, or cause ringing in the ears can destroy hair cells and lead to permanent hearing loss. Such noises include leaf blowers, lawn mowers, wood chippers, chain saws, snowblowers, and some household appliances, like vacuum cleaners and blow dryers.
