Why You Should Protect Your Hearing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to protect your hearing whenever possible to keep your hearing active, healthy and get the most out of your day-to-day conversations. One of the most common reasons for hearing loss is also one of the most preventable: noise-induced hearing loss. This type of hearing loss can come from a variety of activities we may not think are necessarily putting us at risk for any adverse health effects.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
