What hearing damage can arise from noise in industry?
According to occupational health and safety regulations, the use of suitable hearing protection is mandatory in the workplace when the sound pressure level reaches 85 decibels or higher. This is because exposure above this threshold can lead to permanent hearing impairment if sustained over extended periods. Even brief exposure to higher volumes can cause hearing damage resulting in permanent deafness. Therefore, effective hearing protection must be worn.
When wearing hearing protection in industry is mandatory, it should be noted. Harmful noise is considered an irreversible health risk according to the PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and falls into risk category III. This underscores the importance of protection against hazardous noise. The latest EU directives stipulate that from a volume of 80 dB(A) hearing protection must be provided and offered to the employee.
From a volume of 85 dB(A) the company must ensure that employees working in the noise area wear hearing protection.
Which hearing protection is suitable for industry and trade?
Hearing protection plugs are inserted directly into the ear canal to effectively seal it acoustically. They are usually made of soft plastic, silicone or similar material that at least to some extent adapts well and flexibly to anatomical conditions. However, this is rarely perfectly achieved with mass-produced products, even if they naturally provide some hearing protection in noise exposure. The consequences can include an unpleasant feeling in the ears or imperfect shielding of the ear canal against external noise. A more sophisticated version of hearing protection plugs is individually customized hearing protection. This is adapted by a professional to the anatomy of the wearer's ear. This achieves both a better fit and better insulation of the ear against external sound pressure. If you are interested in such a solution, please contact us directly for the necessary adjustment. In contrast to hearing protection plugs, capsule hearing protection is not inserted into the ear canal but placed on the user's ears. It typically consists of two hard shells that are placed over the ears and connected with a bracket. Its aim is to create an acoustically as quiet as possible zone around the outer ear. It is one of the most frequently used hearing protectors in the professional field worldwide. Damping of sound pressure occurs in the simplest case passively. Due to its similar structure, however, it can also be used in other versions as a capsule hearing protector.
We offer hearing protection from the manufacturer 3M, EKASTU, UVEX, LLG, Used etc. in our online shop.
