The human ear is a remarkable organ, capable of detecting sounds as faint as 0 decibels (dB)—the softest sound a healthy ear can perceive. This sensitivity helps us stay aware of our surroundings and communicate effectively in everyday life.
However, exposure to sounds above 85 dB, such as loud music, heavy traffic, or industrial machinery, can begin to damage the delicate structures inside your ear. This type of noise-induced hearing loss is gradual and often goes unnoticed until significant damage has already occurred.
🎧 For context:
✅ Normal conversation: ~60 dB
✅ City traffic (inside a car): ~85 dB
✅ Rock concert or chainsaw: ~110-120 dB
Over time, frequent exposure to such noise levels without proper hearing protection can lead to permanent hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and difficulty understanding speech—especially in noisy environments.
💡 Protect your hearing by:
✔️ Using earplugs in loud environments
✔️ Turning down the volume on headphones and devices
✔️ Taking listening breaks during prolonged noise exposure
✔️ Getting regular hearing check-ups with a certified audiologist
