Loud noises at sporting events can potentially harm your hearing.

ST JOHNS, Mich. - Sept. 10, 2021 - PRLog -- According to a CDC study, at least 10 million adults under 70 experience hearing loss in one or both ears after exposure to loud noises.

The fall sports season is fun and entertaining, but it's also noisy. At sporting events you might hear the cheering crowd, cheerleaders, the marching band, noisemakers like air horns and cowbells, and fireworks. These loud sounds can cause noise-induced hearing loss.

Noise-induced hearing loss can occur when you hear extremely loud sounds for a short time, or hear loud sounds over an extended period of time. As a result, the hair cells in your ears that turn sound vibrations into electrical signals to send to your brain will be damaged or could die. These hair cells do not regenerate.

Hearing damage can occur if sounds are 85 decibels or higher. The general noise of sporting events is 94-110 dB, fireworks are 140-160 dB, and air horns are 129 dB. Sporting events usually span multiple hours, so hearing these sounds for that extended amount of time could really affect your hearing.

If you think your hearing has been damaged by noise, stop by CCMC Hearing Care for a hearing test.
