Protecting Workers from Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

Noise-induced hearing loss is permanent and irreversible. Hearing protection is mandatory above 85 dB(A) under OSHAD regulations.

Ear Plugs

Disposable foam plugs achieve NRR 29-33 dB when properly inserted. Reusable silicone plugs offer consistent fit. Custom-moulded plugs provide best comfort for daily wear.

Ear Muffs

Over-the-ear muffs are easier to fit correctly and ideal for intermittent noise. Helmet-mounted muffs integrate with hard hats. Electronic muffs amplify speech while attenuating harmful noise.

Choosing the Right NRR

Real-world performance is 50-75% of stated NRR. Formula: subtract 7 from NRR, divide by 2 for approximate real-world reduction in dB.
