📢 International Noise Awareness Day is here!
❓ DID YOU KNOW...The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1.1 billion young people (aged 12-35 years) are at risk of hearing loss due to exposure to noise in recreational settings.
❓DID YOU KNOW...Sound exposure to loud sounds includes sounds you LIKE (e.g., music).
❓DID YOU KNOW...The MAGIC number for monitoring sound exposure is 85 decibels (SPL) - sounds 85 dB and louder can be harmful.
❓DID YOU KNOW...DURATION of sound exposure determines how harmful loud sounds are (the louder the sound, the shorter the duration).
❓ DID YOU KNOW...If a sound is loud enough, it can cause PERMANENT hearing loss after a SINGLE sound exposure.
❓DID YOU KNOW...Excessive sound exposure is one of the leading causes of TINNITUS (ringing in the ears).
❓DID YOU KNOW...Not all EARPLUGS are created equal and the fit of the earplug is crucial for determining how much protection they provide.
❓DID YOU KNOW...Noise cancelling earplugs and headphones do NOT provide adequate sound protection.
