Ear Muffs – A New Age Elegant Hearing Protection Device
Traditional forms of hearing protection may protect one’s hearing, but does not allow users to hear speech and reduces situational awareness. As result, users tend to remove their hearing protection. This is highly dangerous, especially when the user works in high noise environments. A recent high profile court case in Louisiana, which ruled in favor of compensating employees who suffered from Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) $50,000 each for the company’s lack of adequate hearing protection is a classic example of the shortfall of traditional hearing protection devices.
According to the OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.95, workers should not be exposed to dangerous levels of noise, either cumulatively or through one specific incident at the workplace. OSHA workplace noise regulations necessitate the need for reduced sound levels that do not cause injury to workers. Regulatory compliance and the growing need for a solution that allows workers to hear speech and maintain situational awareness while working in high noise environments, has created a market for an innovative hearing protection device that allows workers to hear speech and to stay protected.
New age electronic earmuffs are now introduced in the market to overcome these challenges. They are simple to use and provide extremely comfortable hearing protection which allows workers to hear speech and stay protected in high noise environments.
