Hearing Protection

Hearing Protection is the use of protective gear or equipment to prevent hearing loss or damage. This can include things like earplugs and earmuffs, which are designed to reduce the amount of loud noise that reaches the ear. Hearing protection is important in many industries, particularly those with high levels of noise, such as construction, manufacturing, and mining. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause permanent hearing loss, so it is important for employers to provide appropriate hearing protection gear and to train workers on how to use it properly.
