In honor of National Protect Your Hearing Month, Julian and Langdon dive into the critical topic of hearing protection, emphasizing how noise-induced hearing loss affects both workplaces and daily life. With the increasing use of headphones and exposure to loud music, this issue is more relevant than ever. They share real-world examples, from the deafening noise in factories to their own experiences with tinnitus and noise-canceling headphones. Along the way, they stress the importance of proactive measures, such as reducing noise at the source, rather than relying solely on protective gear.
