We are so, so thrilled to present our latest Keep Listening PSA!
Created by our longtime creative collaborator Ben Radatz (who also created “Listen Up People” and “Love Your Ears” for Hearing Health Foundation), the public service announcement “Let’s Listen Smart” recognizes that life is loud—and it’s also fun. And the last thing we want to do is stop having fun! We just need to listen responsibly. So let’s listen smart, together.
Did you know that decibels measure sound intensity? But we just need to know that if it sounds too loud, it IS too loud, and this can permanently harm our hearing.
And it's not just about the volume, it's also about the duration, or how long we're wearing headphones to listen to music or play video games.
So let's enjoy the concerts, the nights out, and the time with friends by listening smart. Let's protect our ears with earplugs. Earplugs are cool!
And let's rest our ears by taking breaks in quiet, and we can turn it down even a little to help save our hearing a lot. Let’s keep listening to the sounds we love, for life.
World Hearing Day each March 3 is a reminder to take care of our ears and to practice safe listening habits. See all of HHF’s Keep Listening videos on our YouTube channel.
