Over 31 millions people suffer from hearing loss in North America.

563 million people suffer from hearing disorders across the world.

Approximately 5% to 10% of adult hearing problems are medically or surgically treatable.

Most of the hearing loss can be prevented by protecting the ears.  There are several hearing loss case every year, especially in the construction sector.  More and more, people are getting aware of that and protect themselves, mostly due to the decreased prices, available information resources and lots of different technologies.

Sound levels at concerts can be in the range of 120 to 140 db, well beyond the 100 db normally recognized as the threshold at which short-duration exposure can cause hearing loss.  This often happens with music, which most of the people listen to it too loud.  This as been more and more frequent over the past decade due to the apparition of CD and MP3 players.
