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.
