What did you do this weekend? Any home projects? Did you set tile or build a garden fence? Tackling home projects over the weekend, also known as the “Do It Yourself” approach may save a bit of money, but are these brave warriors risking their hearing in the process?
Perhaps. According to Deafness Research UK, some power tools can reach decibel levels that would require hearing protection at the workplace. Unfortunately, people at home may not take this seriously. If you’ve never had a job where hearing protection was required, you might not know about the risks of noise-induced hearing loss.
If you are exposed to decibel levels above 85 for an extended period of time, you may be damaging your ears. Tiny little hair like cilia line the inner ear.

Poolside or beachside, if you or your children plan to take a dip in the pool, you might consider protecting your ears from annoying swimmer’s ear or painful ear infections. There’s nothing like a painful ear infection to ruin your child’s summer vacation! And yours, for that matter when you are up all night taking temperatures and administering antibiotics.
Why is it that the ear infection always occurs at the weekend when the doctor is away playing golf? Those urgent or emergency care visits certainly add up, don’t they? I’m still paying on one from the last holiday!
Simple measures such as purchasing ear plugs for swimming or an ear canal drying aid in case you forgot the earplugs can help prevent many of the painful, irritating symptoms of swimmer’s ear and save you money down the road. (more…)
