May 31 is Save Your Hearing Day, recognising the importance of preserving our hearing and learning ways to protect it.
According to the NIDCD (National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders), 37.5 million US adults report some trouble hearing and many as a result of prolonged exposure to loud noise.
Whilst many people may automatically think of loud transient noises that can cause rapid hearing impairment – such as extremely loud spikes of noise, or continued exposure to say, jet engine noise as a line mechanic. It is important to be aware of the impact of constant, above normal hearing level sounds such as loud music via earbuds.
