When your ears ring after being exposed to loud sounds, it means your hearing has been affected. This is a symptom called tinnitus, and in our noisy world, it is very common amongst people who are surrounded by high volumes - like music on a night out, screeching trains and loud cityscapes. The hair cells in our ears can be compared to a blade of grass. They bend in the presence of noise and within a few hours, they normally recover and stand straight again. But, when exposed to loud environments for long periods of time, the hairs are overworked, which can lead to irreversible damage. Our body is unable to produce more hair cells, so once they’re gone, they’re gone for good. There’s no magic cure for hearing damage, so prevention through protection is the best solution.

It’s Serious
Life is loud. We are regularly exposed to risk range volumes.
The risk of hearing damage increases exponentially as the volume goes up. The louder the noise, the less time it takes to cause permanent hearing damage.
That's where Sets™ comes in.
