Custom Protect Ear Spreads The Word About
International Ear Care Day 2015
March 3, 2015, Vancouver BC, Custom Protect Ear, North America largest personalized industrial hearing protector manufacturer shares in spreading the word about International Ear Day.
International Ear Day is an initiative of The World Health Organization to focus attention on the damage people are doing to their ears. Designated at the First International Conference on Prevention and Rehabilitation of Hearing Impairment in Beijing, China in 2007, the Day aims to raise awareness and promote ear and hearing care across the world.[1]
In 2015, the theme for International Ear Care Day is ‘Make Listening Safe’. This theme will draw attention to the rising problem of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). NIHL can be immediate or it can take a long time to be noticeable. It can be temporary or permanent, and it can affect one ear or both ears. Even if a person can’t tell that they are damaging their hearing, they could have trouble hearing in the future, such as not being able to understand other people when they talk, especially on the phone, in a noisy room or at a noisy worksite. Regardless of how it might affect you, one thing is certain: noise-induced hearing loss is something that be prevented[2]
For years hearing professionals have been trying to determine why people suffer from hearing loss. There are companies that do routinely measure how loud these noises are, plus they measure how much of that loudness people are exposed to. Hearing loss has become a worldwide problem, however there are devices and processes to do something about danger of Noise Induced Hearing Loss.
Hearing protection devices have been around since the 1930’s with companies like Honeywell, 3M, and Custom Protect Ear committed to finding better ways to make hearing protection. Custom Protect Ear makes a device called dB Blockers, which is hearing enabled. This means that people/workers can wear the dB Blockers in a noisy place over a long period of time and will not experience the affects of Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL)
“dB Blockers not only block noise, they also manage the noise to the ear to a safe level. Given our human propensity to keep safe, especially in loud threatening noise, is it any wonder workers/people choose safety for the whole human over safety for their ears? ” ~ says Jeffrey Goldberg President of Custom Protect Ear
March 3rd, International Ear Care day is a day for awareness and promote ear and hearing care across the world. The day highlights general awareness about recreational hearing loss has potentially devastating consequences for physical and mental health, education and employment. Join Custom Protect Ear and The World Health Organization in following the hearing loss activities that have been organized for the International Ear Care Day.
