- Our ears are exposed to dangerous levels of noise every single day.Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjOHealth organizations warn that continual exposure to noise levels above 70 decibels can potentially damage your ears. And yet we are routinely exposed to noise much louder than that in everyday situations.Our world is increasingly noisy and our bars, restaurants, gyms, and streets all produce decibel levels that can cause harm to our hearing in mere minutes. Hearing loss is incredibly common and is the fourth highest disability worldwide. One in four American adults shows signs of noise-induced hearing loss, and the problem is only going to get worse.While hearing damage is irreversible, it's also completely preventable. Watch for tips on how to protect your ears even in incredibly loud environments.For more of Julia's reporting on noise and hearing loss check out her articles:https://www.vox.com/science-and-healt...https://www.vox.com/2018/4/18/1716850...https://www.vox.com/science-and-healt...To check the noise levels around you download an app like Decibel Sound Meter Pro:https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/decib...Vox.com is a news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what's really driving the events in the headlines.

1 years agoThe best way to fix the problem is, in my opinion, add noise pollution to health and safety codes. Exceeding 100db should automatically lose a letter grade form the ratting.
