Ear Protection
You only have one set of ears and it is so important that they are protected. These days, especially with loud concerts, nightclubs and listening to music through earphones at high levels, the ears are even more at risk of noise damage.
Common signs that you may need to start using ear protection:
- Do you suffer from tinnitus/ ringing in the ears after a noisy event?
- Does your hearing feel dull for a day or so after the event?
- Have you had to yell to be heard over the background noise at the event?
How does noise affect your ears?
Noise effects the ears by causing a temporary shift in hearing but over time the hearing does not recover. Then you are left with a permanent hearing loss. This is because of the damage to the tiny hair cells of the inner ear. See Noise Related Hearing Loss
