Ear Protection


Can you hear me ?

Or

“Don’t worry he can’t hear me, he has his ear plugs in…”

There are many reasons, uses, benefits, and options in the ear protection market.  Whether you are the one using the ear protection or if you are around someone who uses ear protection, the products and topic is relevant to many people.

The small follicles inside the ear canal are the main reason people use ear plugs right?  

No, of course not, although those small hairs are an important part of hearing and the ear canal.

Some businesses and companies provide ear protection for their employees.  They usually use more than one pair of ear plugs per day, and it is easy to lose them if they don’t have the cord that connects the two ear plugs.

People usually have preferences on what kind they like, whether they are made of foam, silicone, or even solid plastic gun mufflers.

The rating of sound canceling and protection varies from product to product.  The suggested uses are also suggestions as people can use the wax swimming ear plugs for other protection when the foam plugs don’t block the noise as well.

There are many different situations that give reason for different levels of sound blocking.  One might want to be able to hear what is going on, and be able to hear and speak with the people around them.  Other people do not want to hear or speak with the people around them.  Also, the loud-ness and danger that some people are exposed to might give reason for complete noise canceling or a more dense ear plug.

People use ear protection for work, sports, leisure, healthcare, and to prevent damage to their ear canals, ear drums, and mental sanity.

Of course, your husband or wife doesn’t want you publicizing that you use ear protection every time your “ in-laws “ are around.  Although, if using ear plugs or ear mufflers helps keep the Peace during the usual family riot, then it might be worth the investment and the ridicule us comments.

Other uses are to keep ears warm.

Winter months in the North can be frigid.

Keeping the skin covered can help extend your time outdoors, and prevent frost bite.

As far as getting a tax deduction, or credit from the insurance company, I haven’t researched the exact benefits.

There are most likely Business benefits for companies and corporations that provide ear protection to their employees.

The peace and buffer zone are benefits that can be important for certain people.

As stated before, some of the options and available ear protection products are ear plugs, and ear mufflers.

The ear plugs that are most commonly available on (drug ) stores and corner clinics are the foam ear plugs.  They have different levels of protection and density.  They are squishy and usually shaped like a rounded small U-cone.

They can be in a container of 25 to 50 separate ear plugs, or there are options of pairs that have a cord connecting them to prevent losing them if one or both fall out.

There are plastic rubbery ear plugs that also have a cord connecting them and are similar to the ones above although they have several spaces in the shape, resembling a small open pine cone.

Wax ear plugs are also an option, although hard to find in stores.  They are small pieces of silicone wax and usually have a plastic case to store them in, sold in 12 packs or similar quantities.

The ear mufflers are ear protection usually used for gun ranges, or outdoor machine work.  There are different levels of protection, and some have battery power to provide music or sound canceling noise.

Maybe next post will focus on hearing aids and ear enhancements.

Thanks for reading this article, I hope you find the right ear protection, and have the ability to replace them when they so conveniently get lost, dropped, hidden, or dirty..
