Know which noises can cause damage. Wear ear plugs when you are involved in a loud activity.

  • 110 Decibels : Regular exposure of more than 1 minute risks permanent hearing loss.
  • 100 Decibels : No more than 15 minutes of unprotected exposure recommended.
  • 85 Decibels : Prolonged exposure to any noise at or above 85 decibels can cause gradual hearing loss.
