Good evening {{first_name}} ,
Our ears are most comfortable around conversation level (~60 dB), but travel spots often run higher—think engines, bars, and busy decks—so a few smart moves can reduce strain and make speech easier to follow.
And in Cozumel, where the reef boats, mariachi, and sunset bars all add to the soundtrack, a little awareness goes a long way to keeping conversations clear.
Here are 6 ways to stay aware 👇
🧹 Have we found the holy grail of hearing aids?

6 Ways to Protect Your Hearing on a Cozumel Trip (with the “why”)
(All six align with CDC/WHO safe-listening guidance: lower volume, limit time, move farther from noise, take breaks, use hearing protection.)
🚤 On the dive boat, sit farther from the engine.
Why: Noise drops fast with distance, which means less overall exposure while you chat en route to the reef. (Move away from loud sound = less dose.)🎧 Plane & ferry time: use noise-canceling instead of turning it up.
Why: Reducing background noise lets you keep volumes near conversation level, lowering fatigue and exposure. (Turn down volume; use protection.)🎶 At beach bars or live music, step back from the speakers.
Why: Even a few meters can meaningfully reduce sound intensity, making it easier to understand friends without shouting. (Increase distance; avoid loud spots.)⏱️ Take “quiet pockets” every hour.
Why: Short breaks cut your time in noise, which is a key part of total exposure (dose = level × duration). (Limit time; take breaks.)🧏♂️ Carry simple earplugs for tours, taxis, and crowded lobbies.
Why: Basic ear protection lowers the intensity that reaches your ears, especially when you can’t control the environment. (Use hearing protectors.)📱 Keep an eye on your listening level.
Why: WHO notes safe time shrinks as loudness rises (e.g., ~80 dB ≈ up to 40 hrs/week; ~90 dB ≈ ~4 hrs/week), so staying closer to conversation level preserves comfort and clarity. (Mind exposure time.)
You come to Cozumel for the waves, the music, and the stories you’ll tell later — make sure you can hear every word of them.
