Protect Your Hearing This Summer
Summer brings sunshine, vacations, festivals, and fun — but also increased exposure to noise, water, and pressure changes, all of which can quietly harm your hearing if you're not careful. Let’s take a closer look at the most common summer-related hearing risks:
1. Loud Noises from Concerts, Fireworks & Festivals
Outdoor concerts, fireworks shows, and summer festivals are exciting — but extremely loud. Sound levels at these events often exceed 120–150 decibels, which can cause immediate hearing damage without protection.
Just 15 minutes of exposure to sound over 100 dB can lead to permanent hearing loss.
2. Travel and Transportation Noise
Whether flying, on a road trip, or riding a motorcycle, noise from engines, traffic, and wind can take a toll on your ears. Repeated or extended exposure without protection may cause hearing fatigue or gradual hearing loss over time.
3. Swimming and Water-Related Infections
More time in pools or the ocean increases your risk of swimmer’s ear, a painful infection of the outer ear canal caused by trapped moisture. Swimming can also lead to earwax blockages, muffled hearing, or bacterial infections.
4. Pressure Changes from Flying or Diving
Rapid air or water pressure changes affect your Eustachian tubes, leading to discomfort, temporary hearing issues, or in rare cases, barotrauma. Children and people with sinus issues are especially vulnerable.
5. Prolonged Headphone Use Outdoors
In busy summer environments, people tend to increase headphone volume to drown out background noise. Listening above 85 dB for long periods can lead to noise-induced hearing loss.
