Whether you’re watching fireworks with family, singing along at a concert, cheering at a World Cup watch party, or celebrating America’s 250th anniversary, protecting your hearing and voice can help ensure the memories last longer than the ringing in your ears or the loss of your voice.
Ways to Protect Your Hearing
🎧 Wear earplugs or other hearing protection at fireworks displays, concerts, sporting events, and other loud activities.
↔️ Move farther away from speakers, fireworks launch areas, or other major noise sources whenever possible.
😌 Give your ears regular breaks by stepping into quieter areas.
⏰ Limit the amount of time you spend in very loud environments.
👂 If your ears ring or your hearing seems muffled after an event, move to a quieter place. If symptoms persist, see a licensed audiologist.
Ways to Protect Your Voice
🚰 Stay hydrated throughout the day.
🤫 Avoid shouting or talking over loud background noise whenever possible.
😶 Give your voice breaks during long celebrations.
🎤 Use a microphone or amplification if you’re addressing a crowd.
🗣️ If hoarseness or voice changes last longer than two weeks, seek professional evaluation.
