4 The Basics Outer ear Middle ear Inner ear Brain Dog barking
5 30-50 million people are exposed to dangerous noise levels each day (National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, 2000)
6 The effects of noise are often underestimated because the damage takes place so gradually, loud noises have become so common in our culture, and there are no externally-visible physical changes. Brian Fligor, Sc.D.
7 Threshold of Pain Threshold of Human Hearing
8 Threshold of Pain 85dB Threshold of Human Hearing
9 Decibel levels of typical sounds Long or repeated exposure to sounds at or above 85 decibels can cause hearing loss (National Institutes of Health, 2008)
10 Duration LEVEL Continuous or impulse & Spectrum of sound Distance DURATION Other variables 85dB
11 Sound level Exposure time (National Institutes of Health, 2008)
12 28 HOURS 91dB 85dB (Berger E.H. et al., 2010)
13 152 MINUTES HOURS 100dB 91dB (Berger E.H. et al., 2010) (Berger E.H. et al., 2010)
14 ~30 15 MINUTES SECONDS 115dB 100dB (Berger E.H. et al., 2010) (Berger E.H. et al., 2010)
15 IMMEDIATE DAMAGE >115dB (Berger E.H. et al., 2010) (Berger E.H. et al., 2010)

19 People have traditionally not appreciated the serious impact of noise induced hearing loss on their daily living until they re frustrated by a permanent communication problem or ongoing ringing in their ears. Brian Fligor, Sc.D.
20 World Hearing Day 2016
21 Non-auditory health effects of noise Anxiety Stress Nervousness Nausea Headache Hysteria Emotional instability Argumentativeness Changes in mood Increase in social conflicts Neurosis Psychosis
22 This is your ear This is your ear on noise
23 What about everyone else?

25 (Rosen & Olin, 1965)
26 Noise induced hearing loss is almost entirely preventable with hearing protection
27 children & Non-auditory Health effects of noise Deficits in sustained attention and visual attention Poorer auditory discrimination and speech perception Poorer memory requiring high processing demands Poorer reading ability and school performance on national standardized tests Etc (Stansfeld & Matheson, 2003)

29 NIHL is almost entirely PREVENTABLE With Hearing Protection!
30 Noise Reduction Rating Higher the rating= greater the noise reduction
31 Electronic Protection Earplugs Personal Audio
32 Solid Noise Plugs Custom fit noise plugs provide outstanding noise protection for a variety of recreational and occupational environments. Available in comfortable soft, mid or firm silicone.
33 Filtered Noise Plugs Custom filtered noise plugs have a sound bore through the mould into which a filter is fitted. This permits reception of conversational speech, aeration and changes in air pressure in the users ear canal. A choice of filter depending upon the need, acts to attenuate the noise by varying degrees of frequency.
34 Custom Headphone Tips Custom headphone tips are compatible with most in-ear style headphone, pushing onto the earbud. They provide excellent comfort, reduce background noise and give great sound fidelity to the listener.
