Hearing protection for educators<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Open plan education, kids chatting excitedly, school bells buzzing, outside play these familiar school sounds present an often overlooked danger for teachers and educators. Prolonged exposure to these can cause hearing loss. In fact, hearing loss among teachers begins at a much younger age than other occupational noise induced hearing loss. Teachers younger than 40 report difficulty hearing more often than other professions. The elevated percentage may suggest that occupational noise from open plan learning, multi purpose spaces and bad acoustics in classrooms etc. increase the likelihood that many teachers will experience noise-induced hearing loss during their career. Noise-induced hearing loss can often be accompanied by tinnitus. Ringing in the ears can make concentrating on hearing and understanding students more challenging.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As teachers need to communicate with students and colleagues all the time, many of them don’t think that hearing protection is an option. Luckily there are hearing protectors available that are not only discrete and comfortable to wear but also allow for unobtrusive communication. Most teachers prefer the Pro17 earplugs with a dB reduction of about 17 dB but if less reduction or more reduction in sound is needed there are other options. The Pro10 for example has less reduction in sound for classrooms that are not so loud. Music teachers can also have a look at our Music category which explains in more detail which products are available. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
