Who will have hearing loss?
Hearing loss affects all people, including children, teens, and adults.
15% Americans between ages of 20 and 69 have hearing loss that is caused by loud noise.
Workplace loud noise, shooting, hunting, snowmobile riding, woodworking, playing in a band, and attending rock concerts can put people at high risk for developing hearing loss.
Even at home, lawnmowers, leaf blowers, and shop tools can generate dangerous high levels of noise.
