- Hearing Loss can cost a nation's economy up to 10's of Billions in their currency as people who have been impacted from tinnitus or hearing loss may not be as productive at work.
- 1/3 of permanent hearing loss is preventable with proper hearing loss prevention strategies (including earplugs).
- Listening to high volume music or sound for more than an hour a day each week can pose a risk or permanent hearing loss after five years.
