If you love the exhilarating cheers of fans at a play off football game, the skin tingling explosion of a live concert or the roar of a NASCAR race, then listen up.

The Audiology Awareness Campaign has a free booklet, "Listen Up America," that offers hearing health tips.

Noise, according to the National Institutes of Health, is at least partly responsible for one-third of adult hearing loss. Young or old, hearing loss has befallen about twenty-eight million Americans, ranging from mild to profound. From age 18 to 44, two out of every 10 adults has a hearing loss. From age 45 to 64, it rises to three out of every 10 and after age 65 four out of every 10. And the problem is worsening.

"Given our lifestyles, and forms of entertainment, it may be inevitable that we will have some hearing loss and may soon be a nation of hearing impaired adults," said Kathy Landau Goodman, Audiology Awareness Campaign President and Chairman of the Board of Directors.

All kinds of noise - traffic, concerts, jet planes, gunshots, lawn mowers, hair dryers, and stereos - can damage our ears. The intensity of the noise, its nearness and duration will determine the damage that's done to the delicate cells of the inner ear.

"Once the cells of the ear are damaged, they die and they aren't replaced," says Landau Goodman. "Once the damage is done people will stay away from loud noises and wear hearing protection, but that's what they should have been doing for years."

From 1971 to 1990, there was a 17 percent increase in the number of people 19 to 44 years old with hearing impairment, and a 26 percent rise in hearing impairment among those 45 to 64, according to government statistics. And today, all over America, hearing specialists report that baby boomers are showing up at clinics with hearing loss in their 50s, a decade or so earlier than the generation that proceeded them.

The rock and roll baby boomers have reached midlife and experts agree that noise induced hearing loss is to blame for those in there 40s and 50s. Many of these boomers acknowledge that decibel-blasting music in their youth has caused permanent damage.

Because hearing loss is usually painless, people are often unaware serious damage is being done. Ringing in the ears, muffled speech sounds, or inability to hear a speaker three feet away after leaving a noisy area are often indications of noise-hazardous exposure.

Sudden, loud noises such as a gunshot or a firecracker can cause instant, noticeable, permanent hearing loss. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, any sound above 85 decibels - the noise of a busy restaurant or heavy traffic, can potentially hurt our ears. The louder the sound the less time it takes to do the damage. A general rule of thumb is if you have to raise your voice to be heard, or can't hear someone from two feet away, it's too noisy.

Examples of decibel levels are: a shotgun blast is 140 decibels; a rock concert 120; a car horn 110; and a blow dryer 100.

"If we just take a few precautions, we can enjoy loud events like rock concerts and NASCAR races without the risk of hearing loss," said Landau Goodman. "Wearing ear protection (earplugs or muffs) usually makes the experience more enjoyable and may just save your hearing."

Visiting an audiologist for a hearing test, knowing which noises in your life are potentially harmful to your ears and wearing hearing protection are ways to protect your hearing. You may also obtain a free pair of earplugs and a free 15-page booklet called "Listen Up America" published by the Audiology Awareness Campaign by calling 1-888-833-EARS (3277) or visit their Web site at www.audiologyawareness.com.
