BLOW DRYERS BLOWING OUT YOUR HEARING?

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Wireless Flash) -- Beauty mavens beware: Your blow dryer may be blowing out your hearing. According to Colorado-based audiologist Becky McGlynn, folks who blow dry their hair every day may be putting themselves at risk for hearing loss. The risk is even higher for hairstylists who spend hours at a time with a whirring blow-dryer near their ears. McGlynn says if you notice ringing in your ear or your ears feel plugged after using a hair-dryer, you should have your hearing checked. And to prevent hearing blow-outs, she recommends folks wear ear plugs whenever they're blow-drying their hair.
