Can fireworks cause hearing loss?

Written By Victoria Andreozzi

NOISE CHECK 🧨

Fireworks = 120 decibels

In just a few seconds, listening to a noise at 120 decibels can cause permanent hearing damage, such as noise induced hearing loss or tinnitus.

Anything over 70 decibels can cause permanent heating damage, so it’s important to know how loud the environment your in is!👂

Protect your hearing. Wear ear plugs or protective earmuffs when you are around loud noises such as fireworks. 🎧
