Hearing Protection: You Only Have 2 Ears

Hearing loss is irreversible, and excessive noise exposure can cause permanent damage. You only have 2 ears, hearing protection is vital. According to OSHA, workers exposed to 85 decibels (dB) for prolonged periods are at risk for noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Continuous exposure to loud noise can also lead to tinnitus, a constant ringing in the ears that affects concentration and sleep. By wearing formable foam earplugs, workers can proactively protect their hearing and maintain a safer work environment.

• Manufacturing & Warehousing – Reduces noise from conveyor belts, forklifts, and industrial machines.
• Aviation & Transportation – Protects hearing from high-decibel sounds of engines and turbines.
• Concerts & Entertainment – Minimizes the impact of loud music while preserving audio clarity.
• Medical & Dental Settings – Useful for reducing ambient noise in high-traffic environments.
