Why is custom hearing protection important?
People who work daily in a high-noise environment such as the metal industry may experience hearing problems over time. Those problems can include an annoying squeak that won't go away, ringing in the ears and reduction in hearing.
According to the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 80 dB(A) is the limit. If the noise in the workplace exceeds this limit, the employer is obliged to provide proper hearing protection. If the noise only occasionally exceeds 80 dB(A), then the use of earplugs and/or earmuffs is permitted. For all other situations, custom hearing protection is a much better alternative.
Hearing protection Metal industry, what is possible?
Otoplastics can be purchased in different types and of different materials. The choice depends largely on the work in which they are to be used. For example, there are otoplastics that are especially suitable for use in the metal industry, food industry, or for use during transport.
