Airport runways and construction sites aren’t the only workplaces that can potentially cause permanent hearing loss to the people who work there. Exposure to the sounds of factory floors, agricultural equipment, and music venues are among the many occupational sources of loud noises that can damage hearing. While earplugs or earmuffs help reduce risk and may be required, finding the best fit for you and your specific working conditions is essential for effective protection. Although OSHA does not require hearing protector fit testing, it is a critical advancement in workplace hearing conservation and can be a valuable training tool for workers.
