As
you will find in the Prevention & Protection page of
this web site, the 3 most conventional ear
protectors are:
Ear plugs are inserted to block the
ear canal. They may be preformed or can be molded
(foam ear plugs). Ear plugs are sold as disposable
products or reusable plugs. Custom molded ear plugs
are also available.
Semi-insert ear plugs which consist of two ear plugs
held over the ends of the ear canal by a rigid
headband.
Ear muffs consist of sound-attenuating material and
soft ear cushions that fit around the ear and hard
outer cups. They are held together by a head band.
You can greatly reduce the chances to be victim of
hearing loss in the years to come, and if you
already are, reducing the effects. More and
more people uses these products in order to maximize
their hearing for the most time possible.
There was a time when people were not aware that ear
plugs and ear muffs could greatly help to protect
our hearing, but now that we are more informed, we
can make the right choice.
Some companies are specialized in noise reduction
products such as dB blockers,
