Did you know that there are small sensory hair cells in our ears which can actually be permanently damaged by loud noises?
Some noises we don't even think twice about can be harmful to a child's hearing when greater than 85 decibels (a normal conversation is around 60 decibels): lawn mowers, leaf blowers, music through headphones, movie theaters, stadiums, and more.
To learn more about this important subject and how you can protect your child from Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL), visit the Noisy Planet website by clicking HERE. NIHL is hardly noticable at first; the consequences are permanent but can be preventable.
