Most types of hearing loss are permanent.

It is important to take care of your hearing and prevent hearing loss before it occurs.

  • Keep music and noise at a reasonable level – you should be able to easily understand someone talking to you from a metre away.
  • Keep the volume down in your headphones – it shouldn’t be loud enough for someone next to you to hear.
  • Wear ear plugs in clubs, at events and when undertaking noisy activities.
