Why Do I Need to Protect My Hearing
The world around us is noisy! It is often more noisy than we know of. People's tolerance for loud noises varies, and often we acclimatise to loud noises. Loud noises range from children screaming, vehicles braking, gym or dance class music, concerts, night clubs and power tools. All can contribute the development of permanent irreversible hearing loss. Hearing loss usually develops very slowly, but once it's gone it doesn't come back. Tinnitus is often associated with hearing loss. Hearing loss has wide range of physical and psychological impacts on our quality of life, but there are steps we can take to protect our precious hearing.
