Can we ask you for your help? Please will you sign and share this petition? The Make Listening Safe Campaign UK, a WHO initiative, focusses on increasing the awareness of the risks avoidable hearing loss. The biggest single risk is from headphone use. To help headphone users to look after their hearing they need to be able to understand their sound exposure from headphones so we are lobbying HMG, via a petition, to get them to mandate Smart Hearing features in all headphones sold in UK. These Smart Hearing features do not affect sound quality but provide information to put the user in control of their sound exposure so they can look after their hearing and that of their children. We would very much appreciate it if you would sign the petition and encourage others to do so as well. https://lnkd.in/e68G-Xrw Thank you!

Following the publication of their "1.1 billion people at risk of hearing loss" ( https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/03/1113182 ) the WHO responded by catalysing three major initiatives. New Safety Standard In partnership with the International Telecommunications Union the WHO have developed a new safety standard, H.870 v2, which requires consumer headphone manufacturers to provide headphone users with easy to understand information about their exposure levels so that can manage it themselves. The standard has additional provisions for vulnerable people (children). The WHO have also produced a safety standard for live events and venues. Compliant Product Accreditation scheme To provide a marketing advantage, at point of sale, for those products which meet the H.870 v2 safety standard above.
