Today is International Noise Awareness Day, and it’s the perfect opportunity to talk about the impact of noise on our hearing.
Did you know that over 1 billion young adults around the globe are at risk of noise-induced hearing loss¹? In the U.S. alone, 40 million adults are already experiencing this issue². The good news is that we can take steps to protect ourselves.
Everyday activities—like listening to loud music, using power tools, or navigating busy streets—can put our ears at risk. Let’s be proactive and work to reduce our noise exposure. Simple measures, like using hearing protection, can make a big difference³.
Today let’s raise awareness about the importance of hearing health. Every little effort counts, and your ears will appreciate it!
