Hearing Protection
Cayman’s Most Trusted Hearing Protection Solutions
If you knew hearing loss was preventable, would you make some lifestyle changes? Most of us would. The good news is that hearing loss caused by noise exposure, known as noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), can be avoided.
Most common causes of NIHL
The most common cause of NIHL is related to ongoing occupational noise, which tends to affect construction workers, factory workers, law enforcement, airport employees, and musicians, to name a few. However, noise damage to your ears can also come from recreational noise, like major sporting events, concerts, nightclubs, hunting and shooting sports, motocross, and others.
Over-the-counter earplugs might provide some protection against the damage caused by NIHL, but they don’t always provide enough protection or the right kind of protection, and they can be uncomfortable to wear.
After presbycusis (age-related hearing loss), noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) from a single extreme noise event or prolonged exposure to loud noise is the most common cause of acquired hearing loss and the number one cause for hearing loss in individuals from 17 to 65 years of age.
Custom hearing protection provides the best level of protection from noise damage and the most comfort to ensure that you continue to wear your hearing protection when you need it.
The Advantages of Custom Hearing
Protection Over OTC Options
One-size-fits-all, over-the-counter earplugs have several drawbacks, such as:
Poor wearing comfort.
Feeling like they are going to fall out
Inadequate acoustic seal
Muffling of all sounds, including ones you need to hear
Distortion of sound quality
May not provide adequate protection
Specialized hearing protection solutions are designed to provide the right protection during the specific activity you’re engaged in, thanks to features like:
Offering a full range of sounds at a reduced volume
Allowing sound to pass both ways, so your voice isn’t distorted.
Providing systematic sound reduction using precision-engineered filters
Feeling less irritation and discomfort from medical-grade silicon construction.
Using interchangeable sound filters, so one sound protection device works for all of the activities where you need them.
In contrast, a personalized noise protection device that is custom-formed to the unique contours of your ear is more comfortable and provides a more secure fit, even during aggressive activities.
