October is National Protect Your Hearing Month — a great reminder that your hearing health is worth protecting!

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) remains one of the leading causes of hearing loss, alongside age-related changes. Consistent exposure to loud environments — whether at work, during recreation, or from everyday noise — can damage the delicate structures of the inner ear over time.

The good news is that NIHL is largely preventable.

➡️ Use hearing protection in loud settings.
➡️ Take listening breaks.
➡️ Keep volume levels at a safe range.

Protecting your hearing today helps preserve it for years to come!

Resources to inform the Parent Journey
What will my child’s future look like?
I’ve never met any adults who are deaf or hard of hearing. Where do I go?
Who will my child’s friends be?
How do I help my child feel strong and confident?
What is it like to grow up deaf or hard of hearing?

These are some of the questions we have encountered from parents of children who are deaf and hard of hearing children early in the journey. You likely have many more questions to ask. Knowing the tremendous value in learning from adults who are deaf and hearing, families can explore these links with a wealth of diverse perspectives through stories, articles, websites and research on this page.

Plants Can Scream? And Can Animals Hear Them?

Two years ago, a team of scientists from Tel Aviv University were the first to show that plants scream when they are distressed or unhealthy (Khait et al., 2023). The sounds emitted are ultrasonic and out of the range of human hearing. Plants are not sentient, however. The sounds they make are produced by physical changes due to their surroundings. Many animals can hear these cries just fine.

There has been little research about the dangers of noise to flight crews and passengers.

"On jet planes, passengers cite noise as the second most influential factor for discomfort, after legroom (or lack thereof). On smaller propeller aircraft, noise is the No. 1 factor for discomfort."
