The World Health Org: Listeners who regularly use portable audio devices can be exposed to same level of sound in 15 minutes of music @ 100 dB that an industrial worker would get in 8-hour day @ 85 dB. Turn the volume down and take periodic breaks from the noise. #HearingLoss

Is the noise too loud? Whether it's at work, a concert, or mowing the lawn, if you need to shout to make yourself heard, then yes. And you need hearing protection such as earplugs or noise-cancelling earmuffs. cdc.gov/nceh/hearing_l… #HearingLoss #HearingLossPrevention #Research
