Dr. Julie Norin, audiologist and assistant clinical professor at Towson University, joins the show to share essential hearing health tips for spring. Learn how everyday activities—concerts, yard work, sporting events, and wearable tech—can affect your hearing, what safe noise levels are, and practical ways to protect your ears (including custom musician plugs, high‑NRR earmuffs, and infant-sized protection). Dr. Norin also discusses how consumer devices like AirPods and hearing‑test apps can raise awareness and encourage earlier professional care—but don’t replace a full audiological evaluation.
