How can you protect your hearing in the workplace?

It can be ear plugs, earmuffs, there is many types of hearing protection and different ratings for each type. Check with the company first to see if a hearing conservation and observation test was preformed? What was the findings? Not every work place requires hearing protection. This information should be clearly posted on the companies information board. Check with the Safety Department too. If your employer provides hearing protection devices like ear plugs or ear muffs, make sure you know how to use them correctly, and be sure to wear them for then entire time you are in the loud noise environments. Taking them off for even a short time while in high noise areas may result in much more noise exposure than you need or want to have. As a rough rule of thumb, if you stand at a normal conversational distance from someone but need to shout to be heard, the noise in the area is loud enough that you may need hearing protection if you are in that environment most of the work day.
