Noise Action Week - April 26-30th 2010 - Noise Action Week encourages everyone to consider the noise they make and promote practical solutions to everyday noise problems.
The Noise Abatement Society is teaming up with local authorities across England to promote the importance of protecting your hearing, particularly when listening to your MP3 player. As part of our Love Your Ears campaign, we will be testing the public's MP3 listening levels with the help of Ascent Hearing Care audiologists and their friendly mannequin, CYRIL.
We have partnered with ACS to hand out free protective ear buds with cards explaining how to minimise the risk of nuisance and hearing damage, and there will be an exclusive chance to win the innovative and interactive Airdrives headphones when you enter our special Prize Draw!
