Hearing loss is the third most prevalent health condition in the United States today. Young people are at a higher risk of developing hearing loss than ever before. We live in such a noisy world these days that try as we might, we simply cannot find a quiet spot. This is why we need to instill safe listening practices into our children, friends, and family so that we can protect their hearing for their years to come.
A recent report by the World Health Organization (WHO) found that a whopping 50% of every young individual aged between 12 and 35, which amounts to approximately 1.1 billion people worldwide, is putting their auditory health at risk and is a potential candidate for noise-induced hearing damage.
