Ear Protection
Noise Protection
Subjecting your ears to loud noise will eventually effect your hearing. A very loud noise could have an immediate effect but even general noise over a period will be detrimental.
In the entertainments industry staff in a rock concert could be subjected 100 dB, even Wagner’s Ring Cycle will achieve over 90 dB. In these enviroments proper advice should be sought to effectively manage the issue by reducing the exposure.
If the daily or weekly exposure reaches 80 dB the employer must give information on the risks and protection measures to their staff and they must provide ear protectors in good order. If the weekly or daily level reaches 85 dB not only must ear protection be provided but it must be worn.
General purpose ear muffs generally claim to reduce the noise by 20 - 30 dB. However tests have shown that poor fitting, wearing glasses etc will probably reduce the manufacturers claim by about 4 dB.
