Noise-induced hearing loss is 100 percent preventable. The loudness of a
sound and the length of your exposure to it will impact the severity of
damage possible. To protect your hearing, avoid noises at or above 85 dB,
including lawnmowers, snowblowers, motorcycles, firecrackers, and loud
music.

Reduce the sound if you can, or wear ear protection if you cannot for example, lower the volume on personal stereo systems and televisions. When
you cannot escape or reduce noise, wear earplugs or other hearing protection
devices. If you are a parent, protect your children’s ears as well.
