Earplugs are inexpensive, easy to find and use, and do a great job of keeping ears safe, Trent said. For young children, she recommended well-fitting earmuffs. Both earplugs and earmuffs are available in stores and online. <br><br>\n\nNoise-induced hearing loss is irreversible and can happen at any age, she pointed out. <br><br>\n\nBesides wearing hearing protection, keep your distance from noise sources, such as at fireworks launch site. The closer you are, ASHA emphasized, the more likely you are to hurt your ears. <br><br>\n\nImpulse noise greater than 140 dBP, or decibel peak pressure, will instantly damage hearing. At 3 feet, fireworks and firecrackers can measure 150 dBP. Safe listening levels are between 75 to 80 decibels. <br><br>\n\nLeave if you have ringing in your ears or any other ear discomfort, Trent advised. <br><br>\n\nIf you have pain, ringing or difficulty hearing after loud events, contact an audiologist for a hearing evaluation, she added. <br><br><br>\n<i>Contributor: Cara Murez &#8211; U.S. News &#038; World Report<\/i> \n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Protect Your Hearing This July 4th While fireworks may be bright and beautiful, they&#8217;re also noisy.
