Have you ever left a concert or sporting event with muffled hearing or ringing ears? 🎵👂

You may have experienced a temporary threshold shift, a short-term change in hearing caused by loud noise exposure.
While hearing often recovers within 48 hours, repeated exposure can lead to lasting damage.

The best way to prevent a temporary threshold shift is to protect your hearing when sound levels are high:

● Limit the time you spend around loud sounds
● Move farther away from loud sound sources when possible
● Wear properly fitted earplugs or earmuffs in noisy environments

Consider a hearing assessment if you notice a change after loud-noise exposure, especially if it is not resolving. MROO members receive exclusive benefits including an EXTRA 10% off hearing aid purchases and custom earplugs.
