Doctors are also noticing that more and more children already have permanently damaged hearing.
Earpieces of mobile telephones and headphones can damage the ears if the sound is too loud. It is important to be aware of this as a parent.
You don't always immediately notice damage. Research by the VUmc in Amsterdam shows that most people with hearing impairment suffer from hearing loss around the age of 50. That has a lot of impact, because at this age you are in the middle of life, think of work and children.
What you do as a child, young person or adult can have an impact on later. This way you can protect your ears.
