Hearing damage or permanent hearing loss might be caused by genetics, disease, or a build-up of earwax, but the most common cause is trauma to the inner ear. This type of hearing damage results from a loud sudden noise – like an explosion – or daily proximity to a loud machine, such as a giant blender. Excessive exposure to loud noises erodes the nerve cells of the cochlea, the part of the inner ear that sends sound signals to your brain.
Commercial and industrial workplaces are an abundant source of loud noises. Construction sites and machine shops are two work zones where hearing is regularly assaulted. Musicians also face hearing damage from performing at excessively high noise levels, while standing in front of stacks of amps or next to drums. Swimmers face loss of hearing from swimmer’s ear, clogged ear, and water-born infections.
As alluded to above, hearing damage can be partial or full. It might affect only certain sonic frequencies, most commonly the highs and lows, or even the entire sonic spectrum. Hearing damage can occur suddenly with pain, or gradually, painlessly over many years.
Tinnitus is a relatively common form of hearing damage in which there is a “ringing in the ears” sensation when there is no external sound source. Tinnitus can happen anytime to anybody. If you go to a loud rock concert and your ears are ringing on the drive home, that is a mild case of tinnitus. After numerous mild cases, the ringing may persist or it might come-and-go. Each case is different.
Prevent Hearing Damage Risks With HEAROS
Thankfully, there is a way to protect your hearing. HEAROS earplugs are form-fitting inserts that reduce the noise exposure by up to 33 decibels. Most industrial job sites and machine shops are around 100 decibels, so HEAROS brings the environment down to a nice, friendly 70 decibels or so. For ultimate protection, HEAROS offers its Xtreme Protection Series with a noise reduction rating (NRR) of 33.
There are HEAROS specially engineered for musicians with a flat response, so the music sounds as it does on stage, only not as loud. There are HEAROS to prevent water from entering the ear canal. These waterproof ear plugs include the Water Protection Series and the Multi-Use Silicone Series which can be used as baby ear plugs.
HEAROS are inexpensive and easy to use. And, these trusted ear plugs can not be seen from a few feet away. Many work sites have HEAROS on hand for their employees. If your job site doesn’t have HEAROS, ask them to get HEAROS foam ear plugs for you. If they love you, they will.
Please remember that your hearing health is critical. With reusable and cheap earplugs from HEAROS, you’ll spare yourself from hearing damage and preserve this vital sense for your entire life.
