Exposure to loud noises is a major contributor to hearing damage, according to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2021). Prolonged or excessive noise levels can cause permanent harm to the delicate structures in our ears. To safeguard your ears and prevent permanent hearing loss, it is important to wear hearing protection such as earplugs or earmuffs when attending concerts, working in noisy environments, or participating in activities like shooting, mowing the lawn, using power tools, or riding motorcycles.
