World Hearing Day is March 3rd!

Did you know, In the United States, approximately 48 million Americans have some degree of hearing loss, the third most common chronic physical condition.

• Seven in 10 parents are concerned about their child developing hearing damage from listening to popular technology devices such as music players, tablets, and smartphones.
• 86% think their children listen to their devices at volumes that are too loud.
• 82% of parents say they ask their child to turn down the volume at least sometimes, with 25% reporting they do so “frequently” and 19% “all the time.”
• More than half of parents intend to buy their child a tech-related gift—and more than one-third of those parents had not planned on talking to their kids about safe listening or hearing protection.
