While there are many causes of hearing loss, teens and young adults worldwide are at risk of hearing loss from exposure to loud music.

This is noise exposure and is the most preventable cause of hearing loss. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) consider sounds at or below 70 decibels (the volume of office noise, shower, or dishwasher) to be safe for human hearing. Any sounds above 85 decibels for an extended time can contribute to permanent noise-induced hearing loss.

Life's sounds are worth hearing. Learn more about hearing loss and how to prevent it at https://ow.ly/JEI150X9kLj
