Hearing care prevention and protection
Wear a hearing protector if the noise exceeds 85 decibels. You can buy 3 hearing protector types: ear plugs, semi-inserted ear plugs and ear moss. Hearing Loss Prevention is the reduction of occupational noise induced. More than 4 millions are exposed everyday to workplace noise that causes occupational hearing loss. Manufacturers provide information about the noise reducing number. The ratings are based on the maximum noise reduction obtained in laboratory conditions.
Either earplugs or earmuffs are fine. For noise exposure outside of the workplace, most types sold in safety stores or hardware stores will block out enough noise to protect your hearing. Pick a style that you like the look of and feels comfortable to wear. Really, what’s the BEST hearing protector? The best hearing protector is one that you will want to wear for the entire time you’re exposed to noise.
Wearing conventional hearing protection, earplugs or earmuffs, can result in distorted speech, machinery, or warning signals.
