Hearing loss is the third most common chronic physical condition in the U.S. [1] and carries multiple negative societal and functional characteristics.
Noise-induced hearing loss is experienced by roughly 24% of all US adults, including one in five 20- to 29-year-olds.
Every concert must offer hearing protection – Loud entertainment venues (such as concerts) can generate anywhere between 105-110 decibels on average. In these environments, hearing loss is possible within less than 5 minutes of exposure, according to the CDC.
