This week is Deaf Awareness Week. They focus on a different theme each year and this year they're "...encouraging people to take sensible precautions now so they can enjoy the sounds they love forever." "
Seven out of ten under 30 year olds are experiencing symptoms of permanent hearing damage after listening to loud music – yet do nothing to prevent it.These symptoms include dullness of hearing and ringing in the ears (tinnitus) - both early signs of irreversible hearing damage. "
There are tips for protecting your hearing on their website. There is also a fantastic list of resources to have a look at.
