Limit Your Hazardous Exposure
Ear protection like ear plugs can reduce noise 15-30 decibels. When you engage in hazardously loud activities like concerts, use earplugs to limit your exposure to hazardously loud sounds and extend the amount of time you are able to safely listen.
Ear Plugs or Ear Muffs?
There are two basic styles of ear protection. Ear plugs insert into the ear and are usually an expandable foam that gently fill the ear canal.
Ear muff style ear protection is worn over the ear and blocks out external sounds. Ear muff style ear protection usually provides a higher level of protection. Both ear plugs and ear muffs can be worn simultaneously.
