Are the Sounds of Sports Damaging Your Hearing?

Are you a grandparent who goes to your grandchildren’s games?

Are you protecting your ears?

Fall might be the most popular season for sports in America due to football alone, but there are many other sports that go on during this time too, such as soccer, field hockey, and volleyball. Attending these games can be fun and exciting, but they can also be loud!

Make Some Noise!

At sporting events, you might hear:

• The cheering crowd 
• Cheerleaders 
• The marching band 
• Noisemakers: airhorns, megaphones, and cowbells
• Fireworks

These loud sounds can cause noise-induced hearing loss and can even rupture your ear drum.

Noise-induced hearing loss can occur when you hear extremely loud sounds for a short time, or hear loud sounds over an extended period of time. As a result, the hair cells in your ears that turn sound vibrations into electrical signals to send to your brain will be damaged or could die. These hair cells do not regenerate.
