Bespoke Fitted Hearing Protection

We can fit custom-made hearing protection for a range of situations

Any sound that is loud enough and lasts long enough can damage hearing and lead to hearing loss.

Fortunately, noise-induced hearing loss can be prevented by doing these three things:

Know what sounds are too loud (anything above 85 dB)
Either avoid loud sounds or limit your exposure or proximity to them
Wear hearing protection when you can’t avoid or move a safe distance from loud noises

How loud is too loud?

A sound's loudness is measured in decibels (dB). Normal conversation is about 55dB, a vacuum cleaner is about 70dB, and a live band is around 130dB.

Long or repeated exposure to sounds at or above 85 decibels can cause hearing loss. This is the level at which employers must provide hearing protection.

Around the world 30-50 million people are exposed to dangerous noise levels every day. But the effects of noise are often underestimated because the damage can take place gradually over time.
