Bluetooth Hearing Protection: Hi-Tech Hearing Protection Device Noise is considered a universal pollutant of the environment. Continuous exposure to sounds above 85 decibels is dangerous to the ears and exposes one to the risk of health hazards such as noise induced hearing loss. Some of the major source of loud noise is transport, construction, manufacturing and the mining industries. Employees and workers in these industries are forever exposed to such loud sounds. Organizations have stepped forward to be responsible for the employees hearing condition. Hence, noise control programs and introduction of hearing protection equipment in the worksites have reduced the risks faced by the employees. A number of ear hearing protection aids are available in the market. Earplugs, electronic earmuffs and electronic hearing protection help protect ears from loud noises. Based on peak clipping or compression technology, these either clip the unsafe sound or reduce it to safety levels. Ear muffs and ear plugs comes under the passive hearing aids. Ear muffs fits tightly and completely over the ears and can reduce noise levels 15-30 decibels. Ear plugs on the other hand are placed into the ear canal and come in various pre-made shapes and sizes. These can also reduce noise up to 15-30 Db. The technological innovations have had its impact on the hearing protection devices too. These devices now use the latest technologies such as mp3 and Bluetooth technology. Such innovative technologies help suppress noise, enhance speech, and reduce adverse background noises, thus minimizing the gap between loud noise communications and hearing speech. Such bluetooth hearing protection devices which include high-end earmuffs, and ear plugs range has revolutionized the way people communicate in loud noise surroundings. The new age hearing protection devices has positively effected the occupational hearing loss prevention and protection programmes in sectors like defense, industrial, hospitality, commercial, entertainment, and aviation other allied fields. With a comprehensive high-noise communication system, employees can communicate with through both long and short distances, with Bluetooth cell phone and two-way radio. With an MP3 interface and a bluetooth communication, these devices assist communication even in an environment with noise levels above 85 Db. The Bluetooth earmuffs are efficient in allowing an earmuff-toearmuff interaction in heavy noise environments. The Electronic ear plugs and short range Bluetooth Ear Muffs uses speech enhancement and noise suppression technology. This enables ear muff to ear muff communication in high noise environments and highest level of voice communication with optimized hearing loss prevention and speech clarity.
