Do you drive with your windows down or ride a motorcycle? Listen to your favourite music on the radio on your car ride up to the cottage? Do you take cycling or aerobic classes at your local gym? Maybe you use or are exposed to power tools or ammunition in the workplace or recreationally? If so, you may be unintentionally damaging your ears. Our focus at Salus Hearing Centre is on preventative hearing healthcare. Noise induced hearing loss is the most common cause of hearing loss today and leads to a permanent hearing loss as it damages our delicate hair cells in our inner ear. The good news is that noise induced hearing loss is 100% preventable. If you are not sure what level of noise is safe please check out the article below. Make sure your friends, family and colleagues are aware of the hazards of noise.
