Advanced Noise Communication Solutions to Protect Your Hearing Hearing protection is an important but often neglected subject. Hearing protection may be something you've thought of, but the fact is that noise-induced hearing loss happens painlessly, and the damage accumulates over time. People differ in their sensitivity to noise. As a general rule, noise may damage your hearing if you are at arm’s length and have to shout to make yourself heard. If noise is hurting your ears, your ears may ring, or you may have difficulty hearing for several hours after exposure to the noise. Working in a noisy environment is not always easy but sometimes unavoidable. Not only does the work require the focus of any job, it also requires taking measures to protect the ears from potential damage. Construction workers, carpenters, industrial workers, etc. are known to develop occupational hearing loss early in their careers. Delivering and implementing effective hearing protections is often complicated as most of these workers are itinerant. They suffer significant hearing loss after 15 to 20 years of being subjected continually to noise from machinery, day-to-day activities, tools and traffic. Hearing loss has a dramatic impact on quality of life and also can pose safety problems on the job and off. Hearing loss in industrial settings and construction also is completely preventable through a combination of quieter equipment, hearing conservation programs, and use of proper hearing protection. The best way to avoid developing noise-induced hearing loss is to keep away from loud noise as much as you can. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends that the maximum decibel exposure for unprotected ears in 8 hours is 90 decibels. For every 5-decibel increase, the exposure time is cut in half. High quality ear protection is a vital when working in noisy locations because the elevated sounds can cause serious damage to the inner ears. Quality protection helps block out most of the sounds so that the ears do not face any form of damage while getting tasks accomplished in a noisy work environment. Advanced noise communication solutions ensuring users can communicate face-to-face, at short distances and long distance via two way radio and Bluetooth cell phone and other communication systems. Most of these devices like the electronic ear plug and electronic ear muffs deliver 360 degrees binaural situational awareness to ensure users have complete awareness of what is happening around them.
