What’s Permanent Is Fully Preventable
Once your ability to hear is gone, it can’t come back. Yet, noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is still the top occupational disease in the United States and Canada because of loud industrial processes, extreme noise hazards and poor (or absent) hearing protection solutions.
Taking preventive measures, like wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) in environments — manufacturing, construction, factories — where loud occupational noises are unavoidable and sometimes unpredictable can conserve hearing.
Which Products Are Right for Your Workers?
NIHL is painless but progressive, and workers often won’t know they’ve been affected by long-term exposure to noise hazards until it’s too late. Consider sizing, style and attenuation level when selecting the right hearing protection device for workers.
Also consider the shape and fit of hearing protection solutions. A proper seal in the ear canal or fit over the ears provide necessary protection while a poor fit can significantly lower protection levels, and cause pain and discomfort if worn during long shifts.
We provide well-fitting, comfortable, convenient, effective earmuffs and earplugs to meet your unique occupational requirements, including:
Even If Noise Can’t Be Reduced, Hearing Loss Can Be Prevented
Industries have varying noise levels and hearing protection needs, but one thing remains true regardless of environment: noise-induced hearing loss is fully preventable when conservation efforts are made. Explore our resources to learn more about NIHL in relation to different spaces and types of noise hazards and what we’re doing to tackle this invisible occupational injury through the proper use of PPE.
Choosing PPE solutions for hearing conservation is an investment in worker safety, and the rest of their lives. Visit our Knowledge Center for more information on hearing loss in specific industries, regulations designed to help conserve hearing and helpful tips from HSP experts.
