Occupational hearing loss continues to be a dangerous issue. Around 30,000 workers are exposed to dangerous noise levels each year. Hearing loss is permanent and irreversible. However, the good news is that it is 100% preventable. With so many hearing protection products available today, employers and workers should be able to find an effective and affordable solution.
Types of Hearing Protection :
Disposable Foam Ear Plugs - Made from materials that are designed to expand and conform to the shape of each ear. These ear plugs are economical, versatile, and will fit most adults.
Reusable Ear Plugs - Reusable ear plugs are made from durable materials such as silicone or rubber, and can be washed and re-used many times. They are usually premolded and available in various sizes for a custom fit and maximum protection.
Hearing Bands - Sometimes called canal caps, hearing bands are reusable ear plugs attached to a plastic band that goes around the back of the head or neck. These flexible bands keep ear plugs securely in place without interfering with hardhats or safety glasses.
Earmuffs - Earmuffs are able to muffle or even block out noises by completely covering the outer ear. They come in various styles like adjustable, behind the neck, or hard hat mount. However, they can be heavy, and might not seal completely on people with heavy facial hair or eyewear.
Electronic Headsets - Electronic headsets work better than earmuffs because they have electrical components to help block impulsive noises (noise cancellation). Certain types of electronic headsets are also available for communication equipment. This combination provides crystal clear communication, even in a combat situation.
