An Investment to Our Health: Hearing Protection

Hearing protection means all types of protective equipment and devices designed to protect your hearing from excessive noise and prevent acoustic trauma. The effects of continuous noise can cause us to get sick and impair performance.

Damage caused by loud noise to ears

Can be caused by several things, namely:

• Overly loud music.
• The sound of construction machinery.
• The roar of a jet engine.
• The loud noise of a sporting event.

In addition to deafness, excessive noise can lead to tinnitus, or a condition known as acoustic trauma, which can lead to serious damage to the inner ear, which often precedes tinnitus.

When should wear hearing protection?

Employee protection in noisy work environments is regulated by the EC Noise Protection Directive 2003/10 / EC. This clearly stipulates that employers must wear hearing protection from a noise level of 80 dB and employees must wear appropriate hearing protection from a noise level of 85 dB.

1. No obligation to wear: Noise level < 80 dB, noise pulses < 135 dB
2. Supply but no obligation to wear: Noise level 80 dB to 85 dB or noise pulses 135 dB to 137 dB
3. Supply and obligation to wear: Noise level > 85 dB, noise pulses > 137 dB

Strategies to protect your hearing

• Lower your media

Make sure the music you listen to and the programs you listen to do not exceed a certain volume. It’s better to keep quiet.

• Invest in quieter appliances

Pay attention to the dB rating when purchasing appliances and machinery. The lower the rating, the quieter and better the ear.

• Wear hearing protection

Wear hearing protection for noisy activities such as sawing wood or mowing the lawn. For example, a simple hand saw can produce a noise level of up to 110 dB, just below the pain threshold.

Kind of hearing protection

1. Earmuff

Capsule hearing protection, which are essentially earmuffs, provide excellent soundproofing and can be worn directly on the head or attached to a helmet. Some models are easy to fold and can be used for very loud noises and short exposures.

3. Plastic Earplug

Depending on the model, these earplugs have handles and cords. This makes insertion and removal faster. This is ideal for work environments where loud and quiet phases alternate. It can also be used by attaching it to a belt.
