- Our ears are exposed to dangerous levels of noise every single day.Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjOHealth organizations warn that continual exposure to noise levels above 70 decibels can potentially damage your ears. And yet we are routinely exposed to noise much louder than that in everyday situations.Our world is increasingly noisy and our bars, restaurants, gyms, and streets all produce decibel levels that can cause harm to our hearing in mere minutes. Hearing loss is incredibly common and is the fourth highest disability worldwide. One in four American adults shows signs of noise-induced hearing loss, and the problem is only going to get worse.While hearing damage is irreversible, it's also completely preventable. Watch for tips on how to protect your ears even in incredibly loud environments.For more of Julia's reporting on noise and hearing loss check out her articles:https://www.vox.com/science-and-healt...https://www.vox.com/2018/4/18/1716850...https://www.vox.com/science-and-healt...To check the noise levels around you download an app like Decibel Sound Meter Pro:https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/decib...Vox.com is a news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what's really driving the events in the headlines.

25% of adults in the US show signs of hearing loss. Vox science reporter Julia Belluz explains the steps you can take to prevent it: http://bit.ly/2sAd5V4
Who turned down their volume while watching this?
Vox: makes a video about how noise pollution and headphones are killing our hearing and how to prevent it, and then ends the video with a sudden cut to a much louder and staticy clip that hurts your ears...
This guy’s voice sounds nice. Really makes me forget about the sirens, car horns, speakers, chatter...
jokes on you. I already ruined my hearing myself, by listening to music at volume 100
The best way to fix the problem is, in my opinion, add noise pollution to health and safety codes. Exceeding 100db should automatically lose a letter grade form the ratting.
"Turns down headphone volume"
One of my deep dark fears is to lose the ability to hear and can't listen to music
" ear - reversible ear damage"
I work in a hospital lab and the noise from the analysers makes me hear ringing in my ears just after I leave work! I can hear it as soon as I close the door in my car. I really wanna check the decibel levels now 🙉
Well, at least once my hearing's ruined all the noises won't bother me as much...
The guy wearing the grey shirt at 1:45 is having the time of his life with that coffee
I long for a cure to tinnitus in my lifetime.
Wait what's that? I can't hear what you're because of this ringing in my ear
Thank you Vox for actually interesting videos unlike...buzzfeed LOL
only me that tuned down the sound on the video while watching?
"When it comes to help from the government" 😂😂😂
Her reaction to the loud noise in the oturo is literally me
I guess staying at home and being anti social pays 👍
I love how Vox found a way to politicize hearing loss. It isn't the national government's job to control how loud things are. That SHOULD be up to local communities or individual businesses. I'm with Regan on this one (and most other things, too).
