First of all we would like to wish all of our readers a very Happy Fourth of July! We just wanted to remind you to protect your hearing if you’re attending a fireworks display or if you’ll be attending any noisy events and of course we’d like to remind you to have a good time!
Do you know how loud fireworks can be?
Noise from exploding fireworks can reach a massive 150-175 decibels! The World Health Organisation recommends that adults not be exposed to more than 140 dB of peak sound pressure. If you have children, the recommendation for them is 120 dB. Exposure to loud noises such as fireworks can cause tinnitus, hearing loss or make your existing tinnitus worse.
