Summer is filled with fun, but also loud noises! Concerts, fireworks, lawnmowers, and power tools can all contribute to hearing damage over time. Protect your ears by wearing high-quality earplugs in noisy environments, keeping headphone volume below 60%, and taking listening breaks. Remember: hearing loss is often gradual and permanent, but preventable. If you notice ringing in your ears, muffled hearing, or difficulty understanding conversations, it may be time for a hearing check. Regular hearing tests can catch issues early and connect you to the sounds you love. Prioritize your hearing health all year long!
