Working safely with hearing protection from 3M
Lots of sounds, one sense of hearing. Protect it!
There are so many sounds we love – but we only have one sense of hearing that we really need to protect. This is why we are presenting the hearing protection solutions from our partner 3M – ideal for use in workshops, on construction sites and wherever noise is generated.
Why hearing protection is so important
Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a serious global health issue that can affect almost anyone. While this condition is irreversible, it can be prevented by an effective hearing protection program.
Did you know?
- Up to 25% of people in noisy work environments suffer hearing loss.
- Even a single exposure to intense impulse noise can lead to hearing loss.
- Long-term exposure to noise above 85 dBA can lead to permanent hearing loss and tinnitus.
- Noise-induced hearing loss can lead to social isolation, as those affected have difficulty participating in conversations, which can lead to loneliness and depression.
