Bonfire night hearing protection tips
November 3, 2018

Clive Williams

Remember, Remember the 5th of November is just around the corner, which can only mean one thing – Bonfire Night! To keep you safe and ensure that you look after your hearing, we’ve popped together some top tips so that the loud ‘BANGS’ and ‘CRASHES’ from fireworks don’t ruin your hearing or cause any lasting damage!

1. Adults should be at least 20 metres away from fireworks, whilst children should be kept at a minimum distance of 60 metres.

2. Young infants should not be exposed to the loud sounds of fireworks, as lasting hearing damage can occur.

3. Earplugs are a Bonfire Night essential to protect against hearing loss. Filtered earplugs will reduce the high and potentially harmful noise levels whilst ensuring that you can still enjoy the sounds of children’s laughter and other sounds that are synonymous with November 5th. View our full range of hearing protection to find the right solution for you. 

4. Remember your pets! Cats and dogs have far more sensitive hearing than us humans, so make sure they are kept indoors and are not left alone.

5. If you suspect hearing damage has occurred, seek medical advice from your doctor or hearing healthcare professional as soon as possible, or call us on 01432 623090

Stay safe and have a great evening!

Easy to find

The Hereford clinic is easy to find and has customer parking immediately outside. The waiting room is very clean and tidy, although there was no waiting as the appointment was right on time. The receptionist was very friendly and courteous and the reception process was straightforward. The earwax removal process involves up to 3 methods and is extremely efficient, the clinician being very pleasant and experienced. The cost for 2 ears was very competitive
