Chapters

Fireworks are a highlight of the Fourth of July, but they can also be dangerously loud. Many fireworks reach over 150 decibels. That's louder than a jet engine and more than enough to cause instant, permanent hearing damage if you're too close. So how can you celebrate safely? Use hearing protection. Foam earplugs or earmuffs are simple, effective, and especially important for children. Keep your distance. The farther you are from the launch site, the safer your ears will be. Limit exposure. One loud burst might not do damage, but a full evening of it could. Enjoy the show and protect your hearing so you can keep celebrating for years to come. Like, follow, and share to spread the word on safer celebrations.
