October is National Protect Your Hearing Month

In support of National Protect Your Hearing Month (NPYHM), join the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) in raising awareness about the importance of hearing health for people of all ages. NPYHM is an annual observance in October that offers an opportunity to learn how and why to prevent noise-induced hearing loss.
