It's a proven medical fact that vuvuzelas can cause permanent damage to your hearing. A vuvuzela produces about 200 decibels. According to a recent article in the SA Medical Journal, no one within a two-metre radius of a vuvuzela should be exposed to the sound continually for more than a minute. You NEED hearing protection at major sporting events! Visit www.vuvuzelaunplugged.com for more information.
