72% of Concert-Goers Experience Hearing Loss

72% of concert-goers experience hearing loss after attending just one concert.

Concert noise decibel levels often exceed safe hearing levels.

A half hour is all it takes to damage your hearing… yet hearing loss lasts forever.

Thousands of San Diegans will attend these upcoming local concerts:
11/21/13 Pearl Jam
12/5/13 Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
12/7/13 Jay Z
12/8/13 91X Wreck the Halls Concert

Protect your ears with special ear plugs.  And be sure to get your hearing checked once a year.  It's something your Family Practitioner won't screen you on.

You can get your hearing checked for free at any Miracle Ear location.  Here are our North County locations: Encinitas, Escondido, and Oceanside.
