Hershey Medical Center, says that sounds associated with summer fun &#8212; fireworks, music concerts, and lawnmowers &#8212; can cause real damage. Ear plugs and moving far enough away from the noise source can prevent damage.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Isildak sees ear trouble resulting from time spent in the water. Ear plugs can prevent the most common issue &#8212; water in the ear. He recommends that before going scuba diving, divers should be sure that they don&#8217;t have any ear or nose conditions that would prevent being able to balance the pressure. Isildak also suggests allergy sufferers be advised to use a nasal spray or take allergy medicine before they go diving.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pennstatehealthnews.org\/2018\/06\/the-medical-minute-preventing-hearing-damage-during-summer-activities\/\" target=\"_new\">More Information<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Copyright \u00a9 2018 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthday.com\/\" target=\"_new\">HealthDay<\/a>.
