Protecting children's hearing requires preventing exposure to loud sound. Start them young with ear muffs, and don’t give in to their pleas for headphones—you can’t monitor the sound volume if you can’t hear it!
Audiologists warn summer activities could cause exposure to hazardous noise levels. We advise that you use ear protection now to avoid hearing loss later.
