HEARING INFO
WHY SHOULD MY CHILD WEAR THESE EAR PROTECTORS?
“Playing or listening to amplified music has the potential to cause hearing loss in young people, with the risk increasing with higher sound levels and longer exposure durations* ”
As parents and guardians, we all want to help protect our little ones as much as possible, and this means their hearing. Hearing loss can happen at any age.
An avoidable cause of deafness, Noise induced hearing loss, is irreversible damage to the ears caused by exposure to a high level of noise.
By protecting our childrens ears from unnesecary levels of noise we can try and stop this occuring by being aware of the facts.
