We are exposed to sound every day, and volume levels can vary widely. Many everyday environments exceed 85 decibels, which is generally considered the safe listening threshold. Prolonged exposure to noise above this level can be harmful and may lead to permanent hearing loss.
Noise related hearing loss is one of the most common causes of hearing damage, but the good news is that it is largely preventable. By taking simple and proactive steps to protect your hearing, you can significantly reduce your risk and help preserve your hearing health for years to come.
At Auricle Audiology and Hearing Clinic in Edmonton, Alberta, we provide guidance and hearing protection solutions to help you safeguard your hearing in daily life, at work, and during recreational activities.
Protecting your hearing starts with using proper hearing protection whenever you are exposed to loud noise. At Auricle Audiology and Hearing Clinic in Edmonton, Alberta, we recommend wearing earplugs in high noise environments such as concerts, sporting events, and festivals, as well as during activities like riding a motorcycle or snowmobile, mowing the lawn, or using power tools.
If your job involves regular exposure to loud noise, your employer should provide appropriate hearing protection in line with workplace safety regulations. Taking these simple preventive steps can make a meaningful difference in preserving your hearing health for the long term.
