LISTEN UP, TURN IT DOWN Protect Hearing with Quota International

TOO LOUD! TOO LONG! TOO CLOSE! NOISE In each of these situations, NOISE can cause permanent damage to your hearing called NOISE-INDUCED HEARING LOSS.

Noise that’s TOO LOUD can cause irreparable, permanent damage to hearing. Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

Noise that lasts TOO LONG can cause irreparable, permanent damage to hearing. Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

Noise that’s TOO CLOSE to us can cause irreparable, permanent damage to hearing. Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

By the time children today reach eight years old, they have already lost hearing from NOISE. iPods. TV. Computers. Radios. Video Games. Amusement parks. And more. The damage to hearing is permanent.

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss is entirely preventable. LISTEN UP, TURN IT DOWN! Quota Cares about Hearing

Our hearing apparatus is fascinating—and very delicate! How the ear works

Hair cells inside the cochlea send information to the brain through the auditory nerve. These hair cells are very fragile and easily damaged by noise. Hair cellsCochlea

Watch the noise levels in your environment. Anything above 85 decibels can damage your hearing. And it’s permanent.

Turn down the volume Keep your distance from noise Wear ear plugs or protective ear muffs We can prevent Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

Symptoms of Noise-Induced Hearing Loss increase gradually – from sound distortion to deafness. “What did she say?”

A doctor and audiologist can determine if you or a loved one has hearing loss and recommend treatment. Seek help if you suspect hearing loss.
