You only have two

One of five senses. Two ears for a whole life. And a damaged ear

cannot be repaired. Noise in the workplace is the most common

cause of hearing impairment.

Noise is just like radioactivity – we can only tolerate a limit-

ed daily dosage. How harmful the noise is depends on the expo-

sure time in combination with the sound level. Five minutes of

carelessness during an eight-hour working day could result in

impaired hearing for the rest of your life. Full-time wear is there-

fore the only way to guarantee protection. Most people are aware

of this, but are still careless because they perceive hearing pro-

tection as heavy or uncomfortable, or because they can’t hear

what their colleagues are saying.

But how do you convince people to wear hearing protection

all the time? Well, just make it easy to wear!
