Ear Protection for Your Hearing Health

If you are regularly exposed to loud noises, you should focus on how to protect your ears and hearing health. Knowing what types of ear protection are available for you to take into consideration is important in your decision process. 

Ear Protection Devices

Some of the primary options for protecting your ears are:
​

• Earplugs
• Noise-canceling headphones
• Safety industrial earmuffs
• Wax balls

Is Your Job Dangerous for Your Hearing Health?

Many job professions expose employees to loud noises for extensive periods of time, if not for the majority of their shift. In these occupations, your hearing may become impaired. Notably, carpenters, construction workers, and gardeners may observe deterioration in their hearing while on the job. Frequent banging noises in a workshop, or high decibels emanating from a sizable lawn mower can cause hearing loss. 

How to Distinguish Whether Noises Are Too Loud 

If you need to raise your voice to speak to someone who is only a few feet away, that’s an indication that the noise around you is too loud. This is probably a typical scene when you are at a concert.  If you need to yell into someone’s ear just to talk to them, think about bringing earplugs along with you in case the setting is too loud.
