DID YOU KNOW?
In the U.S., an estimated 12.5% of 6-19 year old children and adolescents (5.2 million) and 17% of 20-69 year old adults (26 million) have permanent hearing damage from excessive exposure to noise.
On a global scale, 1.1 billion young people are at risk for hearing loss due to their misuse of personal audio devices, such as smart phones.
Earbuds worn directly in the ear canals produce 7-9 decibels higher sound and increase the risk of permanent damage in as few as 8 minutes of listening.
Experience safe hearing and keep the 60/60 rule top of mind:
To minimize hearing loss damage, listen to music with earbuds for no more than 60 minutes per day and at no more than 60% of the maximum volume.
Noise induced hearing loss is 100% preventable. If you have questions about your child's hearing, consult an audiologist. www.hearingwithclarity.com
