Protect your ears from loud noise exposure! It’s worth it!
Are you ready to party? Are you aiming to see your favorite singer or band? Are you gearing up to mow the lawn? Whatever scenario sounds like you, your ears will likely be exposed to some very loud sounds. How do you protect your ears from loud noises without compromising on what you need to hear? Consider these tips below.
Wear Hearing Protection
If you want to protect your ears from loud noises, the best way is to either move away from the soundwaves or use something to protect your ears to limit your exposure. You could use ear plugs made of foam or wax, or even invest in custom ear plugs. Clarity Audiology makes custom ear plugs for different hearing protection needs; some allow you to still hear without getting the brunt force of the loud sounds.
Take Breaks from the Noise
If you cannot damper your exposure to the noise, then the next best thing you can do is to take breaks from the noise. For example, step away from the loud environment or equipment every half an hour or so. Give yourself a break in between listening to music or attending a loud party.
Keep the Volume Low
If the noise level is in your control, then you can protect your ears from loud noises by keeping the volume as low as possible. This tip is especially important if you are listening to music through earbuds or headphones.
Listen to the Silence
Have you become addicted to noise? Are you unable to function without having some kind of background noise going on at all times? Do you frequently rely on audio for news and entertainment? Practice listening to silence and the background noises of bugs, birds, etc. Practice enjoying the quiet as much as your favorite music or broadcasts.
Cut Down on Noise Exposure
You can also practice limiting your noise exposure per day. Even moderate, constant noise can take a toll on our hearing. Moderation is key.
