Risk of hearing loss in teens

Less than 5% of parents think their child is at risk for high-frequency hearing loss despite the silent epidemic affecting almost 20% of adolescents.

Few parents believe that their teenager is at risk of hearing loss and most parents have a poor understanding of hazardous noise exposures for adolescents. However, the 19.5% prevalence of hearing loss among 12- to 19-year-olds is comparable to the 18.4% obesity rate, which gets much more attention.



When presented with a list of activities, most only recognized headphone use with an iPod as being high-risk factor. Many other common sources of hearing loss were overlooked, such as talking on a loud cell phone, band practice, shop work, summertime lawnmower operation, and motorcycle riding.

"Certainly, many of the hearing-hazardous activities in which adolescents partake are also important components of their education, growth, and development. The goal is not to eliminate these activities but to approach them with some knowledge of the potential hearing risks and take the appropriate steps for hearing conservation.
