While there are many causes of hearing loss, teens and young adults worldwide are at risk of hearing loss from exposure to loud music.

This is noise exposure and is the most preventable cause of hearing loss. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) consider sounds at or below 70 decibels (the volume of office noise, shower, or dishwasher) to be safe for human hearing. Any sounds above 85 decibels for an extended time can contribute to permanent noise-induced hearing loss.

Happy World Hearing Day! Your hearing is amazing, but fragile. Use these safe listening strategies so you can enjoy music for your entire lifetime 🌍👂🏼👂🏿👂🏾🌎

1. Use high-fidelity earplugs at concerts, festivals, bars, sporting events, and other loud places.

2. Turn down your earbud/headphone/in-ear monitor volume (and turn “on” headphone notifications if listening from your phone).

3. Take listening breaks throughout the day to give your ears and auditory brain a rest.

4. Get your hearing tested regularly. .whf
