July is Fireworks Safety Month! Take care to protect your hearing.CDC’s National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) is committed to educating all people about noise-induced hearing loss in order to help prevent it. Hearing loss from loud noise is permanent — and most people don’t notice their hearing is damaged until it’s too late. You can make a difference! The NCEH Noise Induced Hearing Loss Team put together a new video and social media images to help you spread the word. By sharing these on social media and beyond, you can help prevent noise-induced hearing loss during this year’s #Fireworks Safety Month!
