Bring ear plugs, noise canceling headphones with you
Love to go to sporting events and cheer on your favorite teams? While you’re sitting in the bleachers or stands, in a stadium or arena watching that football/hockey/baseball/soccer team win or lose, the CDC wants you to use ear protection – and avoid air horns.
“Sports events like basketball or football games can be exciting, but they're also noisy. And the air horns that blast when your team scores are especially loud -- loud enough to damage your hearing immediately,” says the CDC is a recent environmental health update.
