Noisy Planet Campaign to be Featured on Jeopardy!

On Monday, July 30, Jeopardy! will feature NIDCD’s Noisy Planet campaign as a category in a special Kids Week episode. (Check local listings here.) It’s a Noisy Planet. Protect Their Hearing is a national campaign to increase awareness among parents of tweens about noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), the type of hearing loss that is caused by excessive exposure to harmful noise levels. NIHL is cumulative, permanent, and preventable. The Noisy Planet campaign provides tips on how parents can encourage children to adopt healthy habits that will help them protect their hearing for life and other steps they can take to protect their tween's hearing.
