Hearing Protection for the Workshop
Why do earplugs matter in the workshop?
The simple answer: running machines, loud power tools and rumbling vehicles.
In a workshop, noise levels often climb high. And that can spell trouble for the people working there.

Prevent hearing damage
There is a reason hearing damage ranks among the top three occupational illnesses.
Fortunately, it has been getting more attention in recent years, and wearing proper hearing protection is becoming more and more the norm.
At Audinc, too, we are seeing more and more orders for custom earplugs for use in the workshop, so that employees can work safely in this respect as well.
When is hearing protection necessary?
Hearing damage sets in faster than many people realise. Do the noise levels in your workshop climb above 80 dB on a daily basis? Then damage to your hearing can already start to occur. You won’t notice it right away, but once the damage is done, there is no way to undo it. That is exactly what makes it so dangerous.
That is why it is important for employees to always wear earplugs in the workshop whenever noise levels rise above 80 dB. Choosing custom earplugs means a high level of wearing comfort, which also makes it more likely that employees will keep them in at all times.
What is the risk of not wearing custom earplugs in the workshop?
Ears that suffer noise-induced damage are harmed irreversibly. And the consequences can be quite far-reaching. We often think only of premature hearing loss, but that is certainly not the only thing hearing damage causes. Another commonly reported complaint is tinnitus, where people continuously hear a humming tone, a ringing tone or some other disturbing sound.
Tinnitus is always there and often so intrusive that mental health complaints follow. People sleep poorly, are extremely fatigued, experience a lot of stress or become depressed. For many employees, these complaints mean they are temporarily out of action or can no longer do their job at all.
Protect your employees’ ears in the workshop with custom earplugs
Noise levels in a workshop rise quickly. That is why it is important for employees to wear custom earplugs there. These should be custom-moulded earplugs that attenuate noise levels sufficiently and offer a high level of wearing comfort. They are also a different kind of earplug from the ones used for festivals.
At Audinc, we are happy to help you protect your employees’ ears in the workshop with custom earplugs.
We come to your workshop
To make it as easy as possible for you, we come to your premises to take the impressions for your staff’s earplugs. We are also happy to visit for information sessions, hearing tests, check-ups and maintenance. We can even carry out a noise measurement on the work floor, so we know exactly how much protection is needed.
