Key takeaways

Your ears work around the clock, even while you sleep. A handful of easy daily habits can protect them from unnecessary wear and help keep your hearing sharp.

Morning

Start calm

Enjoy a few quiet minutes before switching on the radio or TV, and take your daily supplement with breakfast.

Antioxidant breakfast

Berries, nuts, yogurt and green tea make an ear-friendly start to the day.

During the day

Listen safely

Keep earbuds and headphones under 60% volume and pause every hour.

Protect your ears

Wear earplugs at concerts, sporting events and in noisy workplaces, and earmuffs for power tools.

Move your body

Regular walks, cycling or swimming support circulation to your ears and brain.

Evening

Give your ears quiet time

Spend some time in a calm, quiet space to let your ears recover from the day.

Clean safely

Clean only the outer ear; avoid inserting cotton swabs or other objects.

Wind down and sleep

A relaxing routine and 7 to 9 hours of sleep support your body and mind.
