• Noise-Induced Hearing Loss?
• Loud noises can cause damage to the microscopic
  hair cells in your inner ear, leading to
  noise-induced hearing loss. These hair cells
  convert sound waves into electrical signals that
  your brain interprets.
• Once these cells are damaged, they do not
  regenerate, resulting in permanent hearing loss.

• Identifying Harmful Noise Levels
• Sound is measured in decibels (dB). Prolonged
  exposure to sounds at or above 85dB can cause
  hearing damage.
• Here are some typical noises and their
  corresponding decibel levels to help put this
  into perspective
• a. Normal conversation 60-70dB
• b. Heavy city traffic 85dB
• c. Motorcycle 95dB
• d. Music through headphones at maximum volume
  94-110dB
• e. Sirens 110-129dB
• f. Fireworks 140-160dB
• Sounds at or below 70dB are generally safe, even
  with prolonged exposure. However, as the decibel
  level increases, the time you can safely listen
  decreases.

• The 60/60 Rule
• The 60/60 rule states that you should listen to
  music at no more than 60 of the maximum volume
  for no more than 60 minutes at a time to preserve
  your hearing.
• After 60 minutes, give your ears a break to
  prevent damage. Many smartphones and music
  devices have volume limit settings or warnings to
  help you manage safe listening levels.

• Speak with an audiologist
• To keep your hearing in good condition, you must
  get regular checks. It's crucial to see an
  audiologist if you think you may have hearing
  loss or if you exhibit any of the symptoms
  listed. They can thoroughly evaluate your hearing
  and offer tailored advice on how to preserve
  it.Aanvii Hearing Solutions has an expert
