The European Union of Hearing Aid Acousticians makes sure that the ears of more than 2,500 carnival aficionados will be protected during the Mainz carnival season. On 30 January 2017, at 11:11 a.m., EUHA managing director, Patrizia Lawall, handed over twenty boxes containing poisonous green hearing protectors to the Mainz carnival club Eiskalte Brüder Gonsenheim 1893 eV. The colourful earplugs will be distributed among carnival enthusiasts during the carnival procession on Shrove Monday, accompanied by thundering shouts of "Helau”, the local carnival greeting.
"We find it very important that people can celebrate while their hearing is protected. The ‘fifth season’, as it is called, carnival is something special here in Mainz. The EUHA, as the specialist organisation of hearing aid acousticians, is based in Mainz and wishes to make a statement for good hearing. We would be delighted if all carnival enthusiasts were to use hearing protection,” is the message from Patrizia Lawall.
It would be ideal if carnival fans were to follow the example set by the EUHA, making use of earplugs when heading off with their hoots, cap and bells, and fancy dress. Helau!
