Noise-induced hearing loss is on the rise among children, often due to prolonged exposure to loud music and environments without proper hearing protection. In this episode, Dr. Sherilyn Adler, Executive Director of the Ear Peace Foundation and co-author of HearO Saves the Day, discusses how her new children’s book introduces the concept of hearing protection in a fun and accessible way. Created with Adele Sandberg, the story follows a young superhero who helps kids understand the dangers of loud sound and how to prevent permanent hearing damage. Dr. Adler explains how the book can be a powerful resource for families, educators, and audiologists to start conversations early and foster healthy hearing habits that last a lifetime.Resources:
