🎆 Fireworks are fun.
Permanent hearing damage? Not so much.

A single fireworks blast can reach up to 160 decibels, loud enough to harm big and little ears in seconds. Children’s ears are still developing, so those booming finales can sound even louder to them. 👂💥

Before you head out to celebrate, make sure both your and your kids’ hearing is protected with proper hearing protection (earmuffs, earplugs, etc.). Keep at a safe distance, and make a game plan for quieter breaks.

Your holiday memories should last forever; hearing damage should not. 🎇
Contact us. We’re happy to help get you the right protection.

👂 Struggling to follow conversations in noise
🔉 Asking others to repeat themselves
💤 Feeling tired after social interactions
📢 Turning up the volume more than others prefer

These small changes are easy to overlook, but they can add up over time.
If this sounds familiar, it may be time to reach out to us.
