In this episode host Mark Reggers and guest Luciana Macedo, 3M’s
Occupational Hygienist for the Personal Safety Division Australia
and New Zealand pick up where they left off last week. They
continue their discussion to help you work through the range of
hearing protection options available and how to select the most
appropriate for a wide range of noise levels.
It’s a loud world out there, and some of us work in hazardous noise
environments. Being around too much loud noise can make you lose
your hearing. Don’t put your hearing at risk, once it’s gone, you
can’t get it back. Repeated exposure to loud sounds, greater than
85 dBA, can cause permanent hearing loss and tinnitus, as well as
other negative health effects that can impact your well being, such
as: stress, anxiety, hypertension, sleep disturbance and fatigue.
Here’s the good news, there’s a lot you can do to protect your
hearing with the appropriate hearing protection.
