A Problem That Only Appears to be Getting Worse

When people talk about earplugs, most of the attention seems to go to adults. Grownups, shooting, swimming, driving, or even sleeping…everyone can use a pair. And yet, the one group who desperately needs them frequently go without. Teenagers, especially teenagers who attend live music shows, loud parties or those who participate in any kind of musical performance, must wear earplugs to prevent hearing damage.

The problem is widespread. Associate professor of pediatric otolaryngology at Seattle Children’s Hospital, Dr. Henry Ou recently told the Chicago Tribune “[doctors]…are seeing a rise in the number of adolescents with hearing damage.” If this issue is not addressed soon, it could spell very bad things for future generations, in addition to pronounced immediate consequences.
