🔍 Think You Don’t Need Hearing Protection? Think Again.
We’ve all heard it — or said it ourselves:
- “I’m just shooting a few rounds. It’s fine.”
- “It’s just a power drill in the garage.”
- “My kid isn’t bothered by fireworks.”
These assumptions feel harmless — but they’re exactly what makes noise-induced hearing loss so common and so overlooked.
🧠 Myth #1: “It’s Not That Loud”
Most people underestimate how loud common activities really are:
- 🔫 Shooting a firearm: 140–165 dB
- 🧰 Power tools & DIY projects: 95–110 dB
- 🎆 Fireworks: 130–150 dB
- 🚜 Lawn mowing: 90–100 dB
Sounds above 85 dB can cause permanent hearing damage with repeated exposure — and some of the above? They can damage your hearing instantly.
👂 Myth #2: “It’s Just One Time”
Even one shot fired at close range without hearing protection can lead to irreversible damage. Just because your ears stop ringing doesn't mean they’ve fully recovered.
Hearing loss is cumulative, and once it’s gone — it doesn’t come back.
👶 Myth #3: “Kids Are Fine — They Don’t Mind the Noise”
Children are often even more sensitive to noise than adults. Their ear canals are smaller and more vulnerable. What you perceive as “a bit loud” could be painful or scary to them — even if they don't say it.
At PROHEAR, our brand story began with a child frightened by fireworks — and no proper ear protection in sight. That moment changed everything for us.
