The month of July is National Fireworks Safety Month, and Warren County Health Services recommends the use of hearing protection devices while participating in noisy activities this summer.

Despite being past the Fourth of July holiday where many fireworks are lit off, there are still many loud summer activities that can damage hearing, including:

Mowing the lawn
Using a gas-powered lawn edger to manicure the lawn
Using power tools for that summer project
Jet skiing or motor boating
Revving motorcycles

Residents should limit the time of exposure to loud sounds, bring hearing protection devices for the entire family, and encourage your family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers to protect their hearing while enjoying their favorite activities this summer.
