Ear security information and resources
Good ear and hearing protection should not be taken light heartedly. Although it is generally preceived that hearing aids can be used to help substitute hearing loss, it is important to take note that once permanant hearing damage has been made, it cannot really be cured.
Good ear maintenance is something that individuals of all ages should be made to apply. The most frustrating part is, it is not that awkward to actually do! All you truly need to do is make sure you make an effort when listening to music, to do so sensibly by having the sound level set to an acceptable level and only to listen to the music for reasonable time periods of time. Likewise if you work within an environment where you are subjugated to loud sounds, it is really your employers obligation to make sure that they provide sufficient hearing protection for you at work.
