Reminder: The International Aerial Review is tomorrow, 7/4 beginning around 10:15 AM. The event will consist of a massive formation of U.S. and international aircraft led by the Blue Angels flying on the Hudson River. Some aircraft will fly over the Verrazzano Bridge.
The event will be extremely loud and prolonged. Hearing protection is highly recommended. The closer you are, the more important it is to use hearing protection. The best hearing protection fits properly, stays in place throughout the event, and provides enough noise reduction for the environment. These include:
• High-quality foam earplugs.
• Pre-molded earplugs designed for high-noise environments
• Over-the-ear hearing protection (earmuffs)
Specifically, for children:
• Use well-fitting over-the-ear protective earmuffs. The higher the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR), the better they protect.
• Use earplugs underneath earmuffs if the child can safely and comfortably wear both. If using pre-molded earplugs, make sure they are a size that fits the child.
