* “These noise levels are approximate.” * * “The three types of hearing protection are ear muffs, ear plugs or ear caps. Cotton or cloth or not options.” * “Foam earplugs are disposable and are usually discarded after a day’s use or more often in dirty environments. Some plugs are connected by a cord to prevent dropping or losing them.” “ Re-usable plugs should be cleaned periodically in warm soap and water. Earplugs should not be handled with dirty hands. Some earplugs have little “handles” for use in dirty environments.” * “The technique for inserting earplugs is to pull the ear up and back, roll the earplug into a small cylinder, push it into the ear canal and hold there for a few seconds until it expands and fills the ear canal. This will provide the tightest fit and greatest protection.” [If your employees use foam type plugs, you can have them practice inserting them here.] * “The left picture shows plugs only partially inserted into the ear canal – a common mistake.” * “The red muff shows the replaceable pads. These pads can become flattened, cracked or break down over time resulting in a poor seal on the head and noise leakage into the ear.” “Ear muffs are slightly better at reducing low-frequency (roaring or rumbling) noise.” * “Most earmuffs attached to hardhats are somewhat less protective than stand alone earmuffs. For really loud noise levels, earplugs can be worn under earmuffs.” * “Muffs can be sweaty in hot weather. Some people find them uncomfortable from the pressure on the head. Muffs that don’t seal well can leak noise into the ear. The young man in the photo would likely have noise leaks under the earmuffs because of his glasses and improper placement on his head. The headband should be on top of his head.” * “Ear caps only reduce noise to the ear by about 10 decibels. They would not be acceptable for constant noise exposure above 95 decibels.” * “Since lab conditions are not the same as workplace conditions, the actual noise
