Loud environments like concerts, sporting events, power tools, lawn equipment, and busy workplaces can still damage your hearing over time. Hearing aids help you hear better, but they do not protect your ears from harmful noise levels.
Wear ear protection such as earmuffs or earplugs when noise levels are high.
If you wear hearing aids, turn the volume down or switch to a reduced-noise program before putting protection on.
Give your ears regular breaks from loud sound exposure.
Protect the hearing you have today for the years ahead.
