October is National Protect Your Hearing month By Kim Saylor Brannock Frankfort, KY - During this year's National Protect Your Hearing Month -- observed each October -- learn how to protect yourself and your loved ones from noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and help the Kentucky Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (KCDHH) spread the word to others. "Noise-induced hearing loss is preventable, so please take a few minutes to learn about the dangers of loud noises to your hearing and how you can protect yourself and your family. I also urge parents to monitor their children's exposure to loud noises, especially from using earbuds at unsafe volumes," said Gov. Andy Beshear. According to the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA), 12.5% of children between 6 and 19 years of age have hearing loss as a result of listening to loud music, particularly through earbuds at unsafe volumes. "It is important to address hearing loss early as it negatively affects people of all ages when left unaddressed," said Virginia L. Moore, KCDHH executive director. "If you suspect that you or someone you love has a hearing loss, we urge you to get screened. KCDHH is here to help you navigate the many services and resources that are available to you."
