Hearing Protection with Honeywell
Is your work environment noisy?
This article may be of interest to you!
To begin with, it’s important to understand that noise can quickly become hazardous to your ears if you don’t have the right hearing protection. That’s why you must analyze your employees’ hearing risks before selecting their protective equipment. To achieve this, a fit test is required.
Hearing loss: a risk to watch out for
According to a WHO report, one in four people could have hearing problems by 2050. That's over a billion people worldwide. Unfortunately, the same trend can be observed in Canada.
So here are 10 ways to keep an eye on how your hearing is affected at work.
- Noise
- Incorrect use of hearing protection
- Not taking a break (where the noise is lower)
- Exposure to ototoxic chemicals
- Medication can also be ototoxic
- Exposure to loud music
- Age (a good diet and an active lifestyle can help prevent damage to your hearing system)
- Untreated health issues
- Smoking tobacco
- Mental health problems (mental and emotional stress factors can exacerbate tinnitus)
Keep an eye on these risk factors, and make sure you make an informed choice when it comes to hearing protection.
