When you go to concerts, do you bring protection for your ears—and for your children’s ears? Did you know that untreated hearing-loss is actually bad for your brain? You only have one pair of ears.

If you couldn’t hear them anymore, because of hearing-loss, what sounds would you miss? Maybe it’d be the voices of your friends and family, or your dog, or laughter. Also, when’s the last time that you had a hearing-exam? If you work in a job where there’s a lot of loud noise, it’s good to get your ears checked at least once a year. Here’s another question: If you go through such lengths to protect the hearing of your children, why don’t you do that for yourself? These are the “three D’s” of hearing-health: First is “decibel”. That’s all about the volume; you’ve got to turn that volume down. Next is “duration”. How long are you listening? Finally, there’s “distance”. Because when you’ve got on earphones, the distance is “zero”. Above all, remember: If it sounds too loud, it *is* too loud. So, take steps to protect your ears.
