Ear Plugs Protection

Believe it or not, there are several different options when it comes to ear plugs. Ear plugs actually serve many different functions, so while you may think you know everything there is to know about ear plugs, guess again. An ear plug is a device that is meant to be inserted in the ear canal to protect the wearer's ears from loud noises or the intrusion of water, foreign bodies, dust or excessive wind. Different circumstances call for different ear plug capabilities, so when you find yourself in need of ear plugs, make sure you are getting the right ear plug for the job. While there are several different activities and circumstances that call for the use of ear plugs, their number one use is to provide protection to the ears from damaging noises.

Why Ear Hearing Protection?

When noise is too loud, it begins to kill the nerve endings in the inner ear. Prolonged exposure to loud noise destroys nerve endings. As the number of nerve endings decreases, so does your hearing. There is no way to restore life to dead nerve endings; the damage is permanent. The longer you are exposed to a loud noise, the more damaging it may be. Also, the closer you are to the source of intense noise, the more damaging it is. As a general rule, noise may damage your hearing if you are at arm’s length and have to shout to make yourself heard. This is why gunfire is particularly damaging, because you are holding the source of the sound in extremely close proximity to your ear.

Ear Plugs Protection

When buying any form of hearing protection, it is important to consider the noise reduction rating which is the measurement, in decibels, of how well a hearing protector reduces noise as specified by the Environmental Protection Agency. The higher the NRR number the greater the noise reduction. Ear plugs protection has some of the highest NRR numbers of any type of hearing protection device. The SportEAR 31 dB NRR is the best protection rating you can get in an ear plugs protection device. Open Cell Foam allows sound to break up and misdirect, weakening the signal that reaches your ear. With some of the highest NRR numbers, ear plugs protection easily reduces sound by before it reaches your ear drum.
