Children and teenagers at risk for noise-induced hearing loss, warn America’s ENT doctors

A recent survey by the American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (AAO – HNS), which represents ear, nose and throat doctors, found that 4 in 5 Americans are concerned about hearing loss due to ear buds. The survey showed that hearing loss is a top medical concern among parents, higher than concerns about asthma, food allergies, or exposure to tobacco smoke. More than 90 percent of parents are very concerned about hearing loss in their children.
