At Custom Protect Ear, hearing protection and hearing loss prevention is our business and it is also the corporate mission and values. This year we wanted to educate and inform the industrial and hearing world about the importance of hearing loss prevention. The hearing sensation is one of the 5 senses that we do not think much about until it is gone, so help us in preventing hearing loss.
According to the CDC, “Occupational hearing loss is one of the most common work-related illnesses in the United States. Each year, about 22 million U.S. workers are exposed to hazardous noise levels at work.
Over 30 million U.S. workers are exposed to chemicals, some of which are harmful to the ear (ototoxic) and hazardous to hearing. In addition to damaging workers’ quality of life, occupational hearing loss carries a high economic price to society.”
