Lines of Communication

In celebration of International Noise Awareness Day, check out the Safe Listening Guide created by the Center for Hearing and Communication. It's an excellent educational tool, complete with decibel levels for common sounds and easy-to-remember safe listening tips. It's so critical to protect our hearing from noise because noise-induced hearing loss is permanent, yet preventable when we take a few simple steps.

One of noise expert Arline Bronzaft's most enduring legacies is International Noise Awareness Day (INAD), founded in 1996 in collaboration with the Center for Hearing and Communication (CHC). Together, we created a global movement to raise awareness about the harmful effects of noise on hearing and health. What began as a small initiative in New York City has now spread across more than 40 countries.

Summer is a season for fun—but also for protecting your hearing. At the Center for Hearing and Communication (CHC), we know that baseball games, concerts, and fireworks are summer staples—but they can also pose a serious risk to your hearing.

When people use Eargasm earplugs, it's a win-win-win: concertgoers can enjoy live music without risking their hearing, CHC can expand our impact by educating the public about noise-induced hearing loss, and Live Nation reinforces its commitment to the long-term wellness of its audience.
