It’s Safe Listening Week and we’re turning down the volume on kids’ headphone use!
Did you know? Nearly 50% of teens and young adults are exposed to unsafe sound levels from personal devices!
Here’s why we should care:
- Hearing damage adds up over time
- It can affect language, education, and social development
- Headphone use is a “hidden problem” for parents
Keep your kids’ ears safe:
1️⃣ Monitor headphone volume – full blast can be as loud as a rock concert!
2️⃣ Follow screen time limits (bonus: protects hearing too!)
3️⃣ Be extra cautious with gaming headphones
4️⃣ The louder the background, the higher they’ll turn it up
Protect our children’s hearing for a lifetime of joyful listening!
