Which hearing protection should you choose? Which types of hearing protection and earplugs are best suited for your needs depends on their purpose and what you will use them for. If you simply want to eliminate all harmful noise while working, you can use earplugs. However, if you need to talk to other employees along the way, you might consider choosing a pair of electronic earplugs that are both noise-reducing and allow you to have a conversation without constantly taking on and off the earplugs. What you need to know about hearing protection and noise Within hearing protection, you can find several different options. Most models primarily reduce the amount of noise that reaches your ear. Some hearing protectors are designed for temporary use, while others are manufactured for use in work environments with varying noise levels where you can also use them for extended periods. Additionally, you will find hearing protection for those who are in an environment with particularly high noise levels. There are different designations for hearing protection attenuation. The HML method shows the expected attenuation in decibels for the hearing protection: H (high) shows attenuation of high-frequency sounds. M (medium) shows attenuation of mid-frequency sounds. L (low) shows attenuation of low-frequency sounds. Furthermore, for each type of hearing protection, an SNR value is indicated. This means that it is the attenuation that the hearing protection or earplugs provide you. The risk limit for noise is at 80 decibels (dB). So you should strive to remain below 80 decibels with the hearing protection on. The SNR value is an indication of the hearing protection's attenuation of general noise: The value is used to select the correct hearing protection for your situation. Achieve sufficient attenuation of 70-75 dB by subtracting the hearing protection's minimum SNR value from the measured noise level. Even when using hearing protection, you can still communicate with others around you. Many hearing protectors today are developed so that you can talk to your colleagues while background noise, such as from production machines, is suppressed. Several of this type of hearing protection are designed for long-term use and are also equipped with an integrated radio.

This is applicable if the noise is above 80 dB or if peak impulse levels exceed 135 dB. Even if the noise exposure is below 85 dB, all employees should still use hearing protection if it is assessed that the work can damage their hearing. How much does hearing protection attenuate? This depends on which specific model of hearing protection you are looking for and need. It is also important to know that hearing protection only attenuates part of the noise. This means that if the noise level is at 90 dB, and you have a pair of hearing protection with an attenuation of 26 dB, the noise level would thus be around 64 dB
