Hearing Protection
Life is filled with so many activities and sounds – recreational sports, music, fireworks, restaurants, concerts, motorcycles, power tools, industrial machinery and so much more.
Without hearing protection, noise exposure at levels of 85dB and above for an extended period of time may be unsafe and noise-induced hearing loss is possible.
Monitoring hearing with an annual hearing evaluation and protecting your hearing by wearing hearing protection – including filtered earplugs, earmuffs, and for performing musicians – in-ear monitors – help reduce the risk.
