hearing protection

Noise-dampening ear gear

Hearing protection refers to devices worn to reduce the intensity of sound reaching the ear, preventing hearing damage in loud environments.

Common types include earplugs, which fit inside the ear canal, and earmuffs, which cover the entire outer ear.

Workplaces with high noise levels typically require hearing protection, and it's standard equipment at shooting ranges and construction sites.

Make sure you wear hearing protection when operating the power saw.
