If your ears are ringing after listening to music or seeing your favourite band play live, that’s a warning signal that permanent hearing damage is occurring. 👂🎧
Currently, one in six Australians are living with some form of hearing loss, with this number predicted to reach one in four by 2050.
RBWH Audiology Team Leader Carla Rose shares some tips on how to avoid noise induced hearing loss which is the most preventable form.
“The main risks are around the volume you choose to listen to music at, and how long you choose to listen. For example, the average volume recorded in nightclubs or live concerts is so loud that you may be at high risk of causing permanent damage if you stay for longer than 15 minutes,” Carla said.
“A good rule of thumb [when using headphones] is a volume under 60% of the maximum range, for no more than 60 minutes at a time, with a rest time of at least 60 minutes.”
“I think most people can relate to this and have had the experience of dulled hearing and tinnitus following a night out. This is a sign you may have caused permanent damage to your hearing.”

Sometimes the most important health habits are the quiet ones. 🤫

"I’m from Adelaide, but I`m here with my partner from Brisbane, he’s in the military. This is my first baby; I’m about halfway along in the pregnancy but we`re not finding out the gender. I haven’t bought anything gendered, just keeping to whites and beiges. I’m a teacher, currently working in special education, in year 7 to year 12 doing dance. My go to thing is to be yourself. What’s the point of being anyone else when you can be yourself? And smile, it’s good for you." 😃
