With the focus for many businesses dealing with the ongoing Covid-19 global health crisis beginning to shift to "the new normal" and returning to the workplace, questions are being asked by employees and employers alike around how workplaces will be made, and kept, safe.

We all know that the requirements for OSHA workplace noise measurements involve establishing the individual noise exposure for our workers to be sure that we are protecting them from excessively high noise levels.

An estimated 275 million people across the globe can’t hear clearly all the sounds they love. These people suffer from hearing loss, which the World Health Organization lists as the number one sensory disability in the world.
