Protect your hearing while at work<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Thinking about occupational hazards in the medical sector and protection we think mainly of face masks, gloves and protective eye protection. There is another type of protective personal equipment (PPE) we might be forgetting: earplugs.<\/p>\n

Professions like dentists and orthopedic surgeons are exposed to loud noises daily. Hearing loss is an occupational hazard of the medical profession and these professionals are susceptible to the development of permanent hearing loss.<\/p>\n

Studies have shown that sound levels in the dental office or theater exceed the safe threshold (85dB) on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Standard (foam) earplugs may protect against this noise but also make normal communication almost impossible. High-fidelity custom-made earplugs on the other hand allow for easy clear communication while ears are protected at the same time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Most dentists prefer the ACS Pro15, which reduces the noise of drills and the suction machine while speech is still audible. When more reduction in sound is needed the Pro20 is another option. For professionals who work in theater the Pro15 or Pro20 is also the preferred solution. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
