Noise-induced hearing loss is rapidly surpassing aging as the leading cause for irreversible hearing loss. Just because a sound isn’t painful, doesn’t mean that it isn’t loud enough to cause hearing loss. In fact, a lot of everyday activities are loud enough that a person should be wearing hearing protection in order to prevent hearing loss, especially if someone is going to be repeatedly in that noisy environment. Some of these activities include:
- Hunting or shooting guns
- Riding a motorcycle
- Boating or Jet Skiing
- Listening to loud music or attending a concert
- Using a lawnmower, leaf blower, or other lawn equipment
- Noisy work environments
- Attending sporting events
- Using power tools
We offer a variety of custom hearing protection including:
- Solid ear plugs for sleeping, swimming, or consistently noisy environments
- Shooter’s ear plugs
- Filtered or musician’s ear plugs that allow you to hear speech and music while filtering out damaging loud and high-pitched stimuli
