Have you ever wondered whether you should perform a hearing fit test? Whatever the answer, the important thing is to know the benefits of wearing the adequate protection.
Life is filled with such beautiful sounds. Birds singing, melodies played on a piano or the enchanting silence of the forest. It would be a shame to lose all these beautiful sensations by simply neglecting your hearing at work.
Despite decades of regulations, noise-induced hearing loss continues to be one of the most prevalent workplace injuries in many industries. While damage to hearing is the well-known result of overexposure to hazardous noise, there are a number of other physiologic and behavioral effects of hazardous noise. In this interview with Brad Witt, audiologist and Director of Hearing Conservation at Honeywell Safety Products, we discuss some of those other effects, their causes and solutions.
Noise at work is a problem affecting a large number of workers. For example, in 2019 in Canada, 5,525 work accidents were caused by noise exposure. In addition, noise exposure can have other adverse side effects on the workers’ health, such as fatigue, irritability, stress, isolation and depression. Prolonged exposure can also affect the hearing ability of the worker by causing deafness.
