SEPTEMBER 26, 2008 
Mr. ROSS submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred 
to the Committee on Energy and Commerce 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing support for designation of October as ‘‘National 
Protect Your Hearing Month’’. 
Whereas the National Institute on Deafness and Other Com-

mately 17 percent (36,000,000) of adults in the United 
States report some degree of hearing loss; 
Whereas the NIDCD estimates that approximately 15 per-
cent (26,000,000) of people in the United States between 
the ages of 20 and 69 have high frequency hearing loss 
due to exposure to loud sounds or noise at work or in lei-
sure activities; 
Whereas young people and their families take part in activi-
ties every day that can contribute to increased exposure 
to harmful noise levels;

Whereas potential sources include personal stereo systems 
and portable movie and game systems, sports recreation 
activities, such as hunting and snowmobiling, athletic 
events, concerts, yard work, such as mowing the lawn, 
and hobbies, such as woodworking; 
Whereas over time, continued exposure to harmful noise lev-
els can lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss 
(NIHL); 
Whereas noise-induced hearing loss can be prevented through 
simple measures to reduce exposure to loud sounds in-
cluding turning down the volume, limiting the amount of 
time spent engaged in a loud activity, moving away from 
the source of sound, or wearing hearing protection when 
involved in a loud activity; 
Whereas Congress is an institution that can help raise aware-
ness in the general public about the importance of pro-
tecting one’s hearing; and 
Whereas the month of October would be an appropriate 
month to designate as ‘‘National Protect Your Hearing 
Month’’: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress— 
(1) supports the designation of ‘‘National Pro-
tect Your Hearing Month’’; and 
(2) recognizes that all people in the United 
States should become more aware of the potential 
for noise-induced hearing loss in their daily activities

Whereas high-quality after-school programs provide safe,

physical, cultural and academic skills; 
Whereas high-quality after-school programs support working 
families by ensuring that their children are safe and pro-
