Did you know that the CDC lists hearing loss as the third most common chronic physical condition among adults in the United States? It’s important to know that noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the most common permanent but preventable occupational injury.
PPE for hearing protection can prevent hearing loss, however it can also prevent effective communication on the jobsite. By investing in communication devices with integrated hearing protection, you can maintain worker safety and improve productivity.
During this pandemic year, think how difficult and sad it has been not hearing the sounds we love. Now, imagine if your hearing were gone forever or seriously impaired. It’s not a good situation, but it’s a real one, especially in the industrial workplace.
Hearing loss isn’t the first injury that comes to mind when an arc fault occurs. The light and heat emitted by the massive electrical explosion – the arc flash – can cause life-threatening and life-altering burns to the skin, compression injuries and loss of limbs if workers are left unprotected.
Noise monitoring specialist Cirrus Research has launched the new MK:440 Noise Sensor LITE, making accurate environmental noise monitoring easier than ever before
March 27, 2019
The new MK:440 Noise Sensor LITE is an entry-level device that has been added to Cirrus’ growing range of environmental monitors, all designed and manufactured in the UK.
Its robust and weatherproof casing is ideal for outdoor noise monitoring, whilst its monitoring technology converts measured noise levels into decibels and provides a standard electrical output suitable for integration with various process systems, including SCADA and DCS.
If you hear someone say “noise monitoring,” what do you picture? If you are like most people, your mind probably goes first to settings with heavy equipment in use versus a more recreational environment, given the historical regulations necessitating hearing protection in those settings.
LimitEar Ltd is now launching its hearing safeguarding application and software, HearAngel.
It is available for Android handsets today, and is being licenced to both mobile handset (regardless of platform) and wireless headphone manufacturers.
It has been recognised for many years that the use of headphones at high volumes can cause Noise Induced Hearing Loss or Damage (NIHL or NIHD) and that something must be done to protect headphone users and so prevent an epidemic of avoidable hearing loss.
Noise monitoring specialists Cirrus Research are strengthening their range of sound level meters with the CR:308/310, aimed at the entry-level market
November 13, 2018
Noise monitoring specialists Cirrus Research are strengthening their range of sound level meters with the CR:308/310, aimed at the entry-level market.
The CR:308/310 is a robust sound level meter ideal for basic noise information, capable of measuring the maximum sound level (LMax) and the sound pressure level (SPL).
Did you know that more people have hearing loss than diabetes, cancer or vision trouble? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, occupational hearing loss, which is caused by exposure at work to loud noise or chemicals that damage hearing, is the most common work-related illness.
