Hearing Health Information

Extremely loud noises can cause permanent damage to the tiny hair cells inside the cochlea. Even moderately loud noise over a period of time can be damaging. But just how loud is loud?

Studies show that prolonged exposure to sounds at or above 90db can damage hearing. Protect your hearing and wear earplugs when exposed to loud noise.

TIPS for Hearing Conservation.

bullet sml02 

Protect your hearing whenever your surroundings are so loud you must raise your voice to be heard. It doesn't matter what the source of the loud sounds are - music (radios, live music, and headphones), machinery, conversation (bar or restaurant). If it's too loud for you to hear yourself, the sound is potentially damaging to your hearing. If you can't avoid the situation, wear ear plugs.
