Here are 4 easy steps you can take to protect your hearing:
- When listening to music -- whether on the computer, an iPod, an iPhone, or any other music device--turn the volume to a low setting. If the people around you can hear the music coming from your headphones, the volume is far too high
- When you attend concerts, sporting events, or any other loud public venues, wear earplugs
- If you experience ear pain, or notice any changes in your ability to hear, go see an audiologist immediately
- Get periodic hearing tests to monitor your hearing
