Can you protect your ears from tinnitus? Yes, and it starts with small, everyday choices! 👂
Tinnitus can be caused by many factors and often occurs spontaneously. One modifiable factor is exposure to loud noise. When your ears are exposed to high volumes, the tiny hair cells inside the inner ear can become permanently damaged. Once this happens, it can lead to ongoing ringing, buzzing, or other sounds, known as tinnitus.
The good news is that there are simple ways to help reduce your risk:
• Keep headphone and earbud volumes low
• Take regular listening breaks
• Follow the 60/60 rule: no more than 60% volume for 60 minutes at a time
• Step away from loudspeakers and noisy environments whenever possible
• Wear ear protection at concerts, festivals, or when using loud tools
At The Ear Place, we believe prevention is just as important as treatment. Protecting your hearing today can make a lasting difference to your hearing health tomorrow. 🎧🥰
