Frequently Asked Questions
Why is hearing protection important?
Hearing protection is important because exposure to loud noise can lead to permanent hearing loss. The safe listening threshold is generally considered to be 85 decibels (dB). Activities such as attending concerts (which can exceed 100dB), shooting (which can exceed 140 dB), using power tools, or working in noisy environments can damage your hearing over time. Using hearing protection helps prevent this damage and maintains your hearing health.
What is the best type of hearing protection?
The best type of hearing protection is one that fits well, is comfortable, and effectively reduces harmful noise levels. Custom-fit earplugs are often considered the best option because they provide a secure fit tailored to your ears, ensuring maximum protection and comfort.
Is hearing protection better in the ear or over the ear?
Earplugs fit directly in the ear canal and generally offer better noise reduction than earmuffs, which fit over the ear. However, earmuffs can be more comfortable for extended wear and are easier to use for most people. The choice depends on personal preference and the specific noise environment.
What hearing protection should I get?
The right hearing protection depends on your specific activities and noise exposure levels. For example, musicians need earplugs that preserve sound quality, while shooters need maximum noise suppression. Our experts can help you select the right product based on your individual needs and preferences.
How often should hearing protection be replaced?
The lifespan of hearing protection devices varies depending on their type and use. Custom-fit earplugs can last several years with proper care, while disposable earplugs should be replaced after each use. Regularly inspect your hearing protection for signs of wear and replace them as needed to ensure optimal performance.
