The loudest thing in the room might surprise you...
A vacuum cleaner running at home (70-80 decibels) is actually louder than city traffic heard from inside your car. A blender, a hair dryer, even a busy restaurant at lunch, these everyday moments often clock in louder than people expect.
Here's the thing about noise exposure: it's not just the "big" loud moments, concerts, power tools, fireworks, that add up over time. It's the accumulation of ordinary daily noise that quietly chips away at hearing, often without anyone noticing until years later.
The good news is that awareness is the first step. Simple habits, taking breaks from noisy chores, keeping some distance from loud appliances, being mindful of volume, can make a real difference over time.
