Turn down the volume on hearing loss
Each month the Employee Newsletter will feature a new Safety Tip. This month’s topic is: Did you know that noise-induced hearing loss is 100% preventable?
Whether you’re rocking out at a concert, mowing the lawn, or working on the job site, everyday sounds can sneakily damage your hearing over time. Protecting your ears doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are three quick ways to safeguard your hearing this week:
- Pack the plugs: Keep a pair of earplugs handy for loud events, concerts, or DIY projects.
- Follow the 60/60 rule: When wearing headphones, try to keep the volume at 60% or lower for no more than 60 minutes at a time.
- Take noise breaks: Give your ears quiet downtime to recover after exposure to loud environments.
