I find it hard to believe that we delivered our first hearing safeguarding products for headphone and headset users 15 years ago this month!

Headphone use is pretty much ubiquitous, and we tend not to take our headphones off. We tend to listen to music or podcasts a bit more loudly than we should, and we don’t take enough breaks.

We want to ...
Highlight the causes of avoidable hearing loss.
Help you choose safer options to prevent avoidable hearing loss.
Encourage legislation to make sure safer options are freely available to everyone.

#MakeListeningSafe Damage to hearing is caused by a combination of how long you listen, how loud you listen, and the intensity of what you're listening to.

Should you wear hearing protection on London Underground?
Worrying article by Tom Edwards about noise levels on the tube. We recommend protecting your hearing by using noise cancelling headphones whether you are listening to anything or not.

HearAngel says: Our hearing is simply not designed to cope with the sound exposure that most of us get routinely so we are supporting the Make Listening Safe Campaign to increase the awareness of the risks amongst those with most to lose.

[Tower RNLI @TowerRNLI]

It’s been a busy week for our crews - 24 shouts and 3 lives saved*
(*the lives saved are unofficial until they have been ratified by the RNLI.)

If you were to use your smartphone at work with headphones at full volume the Noise at Work regulations would allow you to listen for only 15 to 20 minutes in any 24-hour period.
