Effective Protection For Your Hearing

1. Effective Protection For Your Hearing We all know that our eyesight is important to us, as is the ability to feel and to touch – and to enjoy the good hearing ability. People often expose their hearing to loud noise, for example, hunters have to listen to extreme noise when they are out there shooting at prey, or when they practice their skills before they set out. Of course, this also applies to the wing shooter and competition shooter as well. These individuals are starting, much more regularly, to consider the benefits of electronic earplugs for shooting. THE NEED FOR WEARING PROTECTION FOR YOUR EARS/HEARING When the ears are exposed to abnormally high levels of sound, there is a great possibility that such loud sounds could cause untold damage, as the ability to enjoy ongoing good hearing, may be compromised. Sound is measured in units known as dB, i.e. decibels. Graphs show what levels of sound penetrating the ears are acceptable and what not. These assist with helping to inform the public at what stage they should start to consider acquiring hearing protection devices. Hunters and shooters are always in real danger of suffering from the effects of ongoing loud noise such as gun and rifle fire, or mortars and hand grenades in the case of the military, for example during exercise. When the sound reaches certain dangerous levels of intensity, wearing protection is advised. Think, too, of the DJ who has to listen to loud music all the time, or the personnel who work in circumstances where jet planes take off regularly. There are more examples. What is important to know is that all of these individuals and employees are in real danger of developing conditions such as tinnitus, which is a constant ringing sound in the ear – and even deafness in some cases. It is, therefore, imperative that the mentioned – and other – individuals pay attention to how they can protect their hearing. TYPES OF EAR PROTECTION • The first, and most basic, form of protection is offered by the well-known foam earplugs which people have used for decades. It is a product you buy at your supermarket or corner shop and is used by individuals who are aware of the dangers of exposing their ears to loud noise. This is a cheap option and is thrown away after a day’s use. They tend to be uncomfortable in your ears, but they do offer a first-tier solution.

2. They will ensure that no harmful sounds penetrate the ear canals. They also block out all sound. The person that uses them will not hear any sound, not the sound of an instructor at the shooting range, not their mate that wants to tell them something, and not the movement of their prey as it moves around nearby. • Earmuffsare a step up from the disposable foam plugs. These are worn over the head to cover the ears and are not inserted inside like the foam plug. They can be used over and over again and can last for years if looked after. They can be cumbersome to handle, as you need to keep them in a safe place before and after the hunt or shooting exercise. Some are quite basic, whereas others offer technologically advanced features. • Thethird option, and for most hunters, shooters, and other interested parties, the best and only option, is the electronic earplugs which are used for shooting, hunting, and other events where ear protection of the best caliber is required. They are designed and manufactured with electronic features that control sound and the intensity thereof. This means you can eliminate loud, harsh, and harmful sounds, but sounds at normal dB levels, such as conversation at the shooting range, will still be heard. This category of earplugs currently leads the market in terms of effectiveness and popularity.
