Hearing Protection for Printing Shops

Hearing Protection for Printing Shops

In printing facilities, there is often monotone noise that lasts all day long. Certain machines can also create significant noise nuisance. Do you want to protect your employees against the noise produced by the equipment in your printing shop? Good hearing protection helps your staff carry out their work with more enjoyment. On top of that, under occupational health and safety regulations (Arbo), employers are required to prevent hearing damage among their personnel and to make this form of protection available.

Many employers are already taking advantage of it. There are various products on the market, including custom earmoulds that keep your staff from being needlessly exposed to excessive noise. Are you wondering what the benefits of custom earmoulds are? We are happy to tell you more below.

Custom earmoulds: what are the benefits?

When your people are exposed to excessive noise on the work floor for long periods, it can result in hearing damage. In our country, hearing damage ranks high among occupational diseases. Sound pressure destroys the tiny hair cells in the ear, which can cause hearing to deteriorate rapidly. This process is irreversible. Moreover, excessive noise leads to stress, fatigue and difficulty concentrating. That is why, in some cases, hearing protection is even mandatory.

Wearing custom-fitted hearing protection is therefore extremely important and comes with plenty of advantages. Custom earmoulds are safe, practically invisible and last for years. This type of hearing protection is also made from hypoallergenic material and is suitable for long-term use. In addition, the earplugs dampen the disruptive noise in the printing shop while still allowing you and your employees to hold a conversation while you work.

Custom-fitted hearing protection

Beyond the fact that custom-made earplugs provide optimal wearing comfort, choosing them is always the smart move. The goal of wearing protection is to shut out the disruptive noise from your employees’ ears. Of course, the intention is not for people to stop hearing ambient sounds altogether. In the worst case, that would create an unsafe working situation and would also make communication impossible. At Audinc, you can choose from various types of custom-fitted hearing protection.

Among other options, we offer custom earmoulds made from durable, hard material. But you can also come to us for the soft variant. The flexible material gives the earplugs a natural feel. They are also available with special filters tailored to your specific situation.
