I have been doing volunteer work for several years with elderly people with severe hearing 
losses, and I have seen the frustration and anger that are brought on by these loses. We 
now know that many of these people developed their hearing problems because of expo-
sure to high noise levels when younger. 

 

Many home stereo systems, as well as audio/video, personal, and automobile sound sys-
tems are capable of volume levels potentially damaging to your hearing. Please use com-
mon sense, and listen to your music and movies at safe levels now so you will still have 
the ability to hear and enjoy them in the future.
