When to use 3M hearing protection?
Hearing protectors are used to protect the ears against hearing damage. Hearing damage to the inner ear cannot be repaired. It is therefore necessary to protect your ears from noise and loud music. Hearing damage occurs gradually, so you often only discover it too late.
But when is hearing protection mandatory? An employer must offer hearing protection when there is a daily dose of 80 dB(A) in the workplace. Noise is not only annoying for concentration, but also harmful to your ears. At 85 dB(A) and higher, employees are required to use hearing protection.
Types of hearing protection
You can protect your hearing with various protection. When making a choice, we recommend taking your work and environment into account. It is of course important to also take your personal preferences into account.
Earplugs 3M
Hearing protection earplugs are easy to use. The earplugs are inserted into the ear canal. It is important that these are inserted deep enough so that they do not fall out. For example, universal earplugs are popular because they adapt to the shape of every ear. These earplugs are often used once. You can also choose to have custom earplugs made. These custom-made earplugs are also called otoplastics.
Ear muffs
An ear muff closes your entire ear with a hollow hood. The hearing protection is somewhat like headphones. Earmuffs dampen the sound, protecting your hearing. Ideal for when you work in construction or at events. You can adjust the earmuffs for a pleasant wearing comfort. The cushions also ensure that the ear muffs remain comfortable all day long.
There are different types of ear muffs available. There are ear muffs with a helmet attachment or with a neck brace. At Unishore Bedrijfskleding you can also buy a set of loose ear cushions with foam fillings.
