On May 31st, many people nationwide will celebrate National Save Your Hearing Day. This day is about raising awareness about hearing health and enacting habits to best protect your hearing. If this is your first time celebrating National Save Your Hearing Day, there are a few different things that you'll want to know.
How to Observe National Save Your Hearing Day
One of the absolute best ways to celebrate National Save Your Hearing Day is to get a hearing examination at your local audiologist. Even if you're not experiencing any hearing loss or tinnitus issues, it's necessary to get regular hearing examinations to monitor your hearing health. These examinations provide a baseline that can be used in future years to see any differences in your hearing capabilities.
Another great way to celebrate National Save Your Hearing Day is by promoting this holiday to friends, family, and coworkers. Whether it's passing out earplugs or business cards from your local audiologist, spreading the word about hearing health is a great way to help celebrate this holiday the way it should be done.
Hearing Loss Prevention Tips
Hearing loss has been a problem since the days of ancient Egypt. Fortunately, with today's technology and many years of experience studying the matter, we have successfully determined the most common causes of hearing loss and the best ways to prevent it from happening in the first place. National Save Your Hearing Day is a great time to reassess your regular actions and try to incorporate more hearing protection into your daily life.
Most people are familiar with the fact that deafening sounds over 120 decibels can damage hearing in a very short amount of time. However, many people don't realize that sounds as low as 70 decibels played over a prolonged time can harm your hearing. Some common noises around the 70 to 90-decibel range include lawnmowers, weed whackers, and even leaf blowers. It's imperative that you put on some form of hearing protection when you are utilizing these items over an extended period to protect your hearing.
Another common cause of hearing loss due to loud noise exposure happens at concert events. Do yourself a favor and ensure that you bring some hearing protection to the next concert you attend. Try to sit away from the speakers to limit the excessive noise you hear. Even putting some earplugs in your car or shop is a great way to ensure that you always have them in an easily accessible place whenever you need them.
