Over 30% of US workers are exposed to hazardous noise levels each year, but noise-induced hearing loss is 100% preventable with the right protection.
Over 30% of US workers are exposed to hazardous noise levels each year, but noise-induced hearing loss is 100% preventable with the right protection. To adequately protect your hearing, you need to consider three characteristics of the noise in your facility: sound pressure level (dB), duration and frequency content (Hz).
Earplugs
Convenient and economical, disposable earplugs are made with non-irritating self-adjusting foam and have an NRR of 30 to 32 dB.
Earmuffs
Comfortable and secure, over-the-head earmuffs are easy to use and provide all-day hearing protection.
The Real Consequences of Not Using Hearing Protection
- Permanent hearing loss
- Physical and psychological stress
- Reduced productivity and concentration
- Inability to hear warning signals which can contribute to accidents and injuries
- Difficulty communicating with others
A product's Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) measures its ability to decrease exposure to sounds. The higher the NRR, the more sound protection it offers.
