It was reported yesterday on NBC’s Today Show that the highest risk factor for hearing loss is noise.  The Doctor of Audiology urges, and I agree, that anyone who attends loud concerts and/or works in loud noises wears some sort of hearing protection.  Once the inner ear is damaged by loud sounds, the hearing loss is irreversible.

Make it a habit for you and your family to wear hearing protection and save the hearing you have been given.
