Protecting Children's Hearing

In this video, we explore how noise affects children’s hearing, why the decibel (dB) scale matters, and how excessive sound exposure can permanently damage the delicate hair cells of the inner ear.

Topics covered:
🔹 Why sound is measured in decibels (dB)
🔹 Safe vs dangerous noise levels in children
🔹 The role of the cochlea and hair cells
🔹 Temporary auditory fatigue vs permanent hearing loss
🔹 Tinnitus, speech difficulties, and classroom impact
🔹 Gaming headsets, earbuds, concerts, and recreational noise risks
🔹 WHO concerns about hearing loss in young people
🔹 Practical prevention tips for parents and adolescents
🔹 The 60/60 rule for headphones and personal devices

Noise-induced hearing loss is often silent, cumulative, and irreversible — but it is also highly preventable.

Protecting children’s hearing begins with awareness and early prevention.
