Puro Sound Labs Partners with Rady Children's Hospital Foundation to Solve 'Noise Induced Hearing Loss' Epidemic

    SAN DIEGO, CA, August 30, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Puro Sound Labs, a premier audio company dedicated to the prevention of Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is announcing a new partnership with Rady Children's Hospital Foundation in an ongoing fundraising campaign. The two have joined forces to inform parents and children of the irreversible hearing loss caused by unsafe headphone usage and offer Puro's healthy headphone alternative.

Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is a growing health crisis, according to many audiologists and hearing health professionals. One in five teens in the U.S. have some form of hearing loss, which is a 30% increase since the mid 1990's, and another 1.1 Billion people are at risk due to increased use of portable audio devices. This crisis is 100% preventable. Standard headphones can reach 105 decibels which will cause permanent hearing loss in just minutes.

Puro's BT2200 Kids Headphone contains patent-pending technology creates noise isolating, studio-grade sound, limiting the volume to a safe level of 85 decibels without compromising quality. The BT5200 adult model contains similar technology; however, rather than limiting the volume, the user is guided to safer listening through an LED light on the ear cup that monitors the volume level in real time. In addition to Puro's Bluetooth series, the Company recently launched an Audio Protection (AP) line of wired, volume limited, studio grade in-ear monitors and headphones aimed at school districts and students.

"This is personal." says Founder Dave Russell, "Puro was created because my youngest daughter suffered hearing loss from listening to her headphones too loud for too long, and I knew she was not the only one. Being able to partner with a local community organization like the Rady Foundation that shares similar values just makes sense."

Rady Children's Hospital Foundation, supporter of the largest children's hospital in California, will be an ambassador for Puro Sound Labs by educating patients on the dangers of standard listening devices and offering their preventative solution to this growing epidemic. Julie Purdy, Manager of Audiology, said of the partnership, "We are excited to partner with a company who produces a product that will help preserve hearing for our patients. We know that many of the devices our children and teens wear will cause permanent, irreversible hearing loss. By using these headphones, families will be sure that their children are able to enjoy their devices but in a SAFE way."

As a retail partner, Puro Sound Labs will support the Ear Nose and Throat department at Rady Children's Hospital by donating 10% of sales from purchases using the code RADY at checkout on www.purosound.com.
