Hearing Protection

A multitude of hearing protection options is available to protect your auditory system. Choose the right one to combat the noisy environment.

Our increased exposure to excessively noisy environments has caused a plethora of hearing loss issues to become quite prevalent. Living in a sonorous society, where the majority of our activities take place in noisy environments, whether work, leisure, or even personal spaces.

Even though recent years have seen an awareness of the need to control noise, there is still a long way to go. Common complaints of inability to hear even sounds of normal amplitude with aging have become an increasingly common health problem to deal with.

To tackle this direful issue, developers have introduced many hearing protector devices. Primarily found in two basic types: earplugs and earphones. Hearing protectors have different characteristics. While some are designed to only allow the transmission of specific sounds, some muffle the sounds through it while others act as obstacles, completely eliminating any sound to pass through.

Popular Hearing Protection Devices

Let’s take a look at some hearing protector devices popular in the market today.

Musicians and tech workers

With the incessant exposure to loud, earsplitting music, spending their day in the midst of stentorian equipment, musicians are extremely likely to suffer from some degree of hearing loss. It is therefore integral for these band members as well as other personnel working along, including caterers and technicians, to wear hearing protectors.

An array of hearing protector options has been introduced to mitigate the deleterious impact of concussive music on their hearing ability. Specialized earplugs and earphones have been devised, which allow the music frequencies into the ear by regressing the volume, allowing them to perform well while at the same time protecting their hearing. They can also hear the interactions on the stage better while wearing the hearing protectors.
