Have you every thought to yourself, “I should really, really use ear plugs for the safety of my hearing?”
That is a very smart question as there are many health problems associated with living or working in a loud environment without having hearing protection offered by safety ear plugs. Such problems include fatigue, problems with speech, irritability, lack of concentration, hearing problems, sleeping problems and mood changes.
When loud noises are a health issue, safety ear plugs can help protect you from hearing damage. Today’s technology has been able to enhance most safety products for the workplace, and this does include safety ear plugs. In fact, OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration) recommends both foam ear plugs and PVC ear plugs as different types of hearing protection.
How Do Safety Ear Plugs Work?
A proper set of safety ear plugs need to reduce sound at a minimum of 20 decibels. This may not seem like a lot, but is a big difference in hearing. Adequate safety ear plugs will prevent or greatly lower the risk of injury to the ear from loud noises.
Given OSHA standards, HEAROS ear plugs all have noise reduction ratings greater than 20. In fact, HEAROS Extreme Protection ear plugs have an NRR of 33, the highest level of noise protection in the industry. There is no doubt these safe ear plugs help diminish the risk of hearing damage.
So you know, HEAROS safety ear plugs are made for three primary purposes:
- To reduce noise
- To protect your hearing
- To minimize ear canal damage from water exposure.
Some of our products are used only for multiple purposes. In most cases, safety earplugs are used when a person may be exposed to continual loud noises. Foam ear plugs are usually standard issue in industrial settings to protect workers. These relatively cheap ear plugs can really make a short- and long-term difference for the user.
Finding The Best Ear Plugs
Not all ear plugs are the same, so it is important to choose the right ones for your particular needs. With the wide variety of safety ear plugs offered today, you will easily be able to find reusable ear plugs that fit the best and offer the most protection for your hearing.
If you will be wearing them all day, you will want to look for the comfort level that is provided with safety ear plugs. It is also important to choose ear plugs with low foam which will not place pressure on the ear canal. In an area where visibility is very important, such as in plants, choose safety ear plugs that are made to be seen. Other special features include attached carrying cases.
