How loud is your world?

Did you know;
  • A typical motorcycle produces 95dB of noise which means you can ride for just 4 hrs before risking damage to your ears.
  • Most people listen to their headphones at 100dB which can effect hearing after just 2 hrs of use.
  • A jet ski can be 115dB which can damage hearing in 15 minutes
  • The volume of many concerts can reach 120dB which can damage hearing after just 7 minutes.
  • A firecracker puts out 125dB of noise causing damage to the ears in 3 minutes.
  • A single gunshot is approximately 140dB and can do immediate damage to your hearing. 
Help promote #hearing health for all ages.  Encourage your friends and family to use ear plugs when around loud noise.  The incidence of childhood hearing loss has doubled because of noise exposure.  Ask your friendly #audiologist to help you find ways to protect your hearing and the the hearing of the ones you love.  Or, email me at info@hearingwithclarity.com with questions.
