All Shooters Can Benefit From One Or More Of Various Different Ear Protection Devices Individuals who were born with normal hearing ability and then, at some stage, lose this ability – even if they do not suffer complete deafness but only marginal hearing problems, or if they now only enjoy limited hearing – know exactly what they once had and can now no longer enjoy. For many there comes a time when indeed they experience problems with their hearing whereas before they were perfectly able to enjoy good hearing. This can happen gradually, such as with the advancing years when hearing and sight are just no longer that good. Most people come to terms with it and adjust, or they receive treatment which, in certain cases, brings relief. There are also other people - millions worldwide – who start experiencing such problems which could actually have been avoided; it also hits many younger people. These are people like employees that are/have been exposed to loud noise and sounds in their work environment such as in factories where noisy machines are part of their daily existence, in bars and clubs where extremely loud music is played all the time, and also shooters such as hunters, or instructors on the shooting range, soldiers that practice their shooting, law enforcement officers and a number of others. This category of person may, and many do, develop NIHL (Noise-Induced Hearing Loss) which could in many cases have been prevented with the correct safety measures. People in factories, or the DJ that listen to noisy music night after night, or the shooter and hunter, do indeed have access to protective measures these days. Shooters, especially, are becoming more and more aware of such precautions – in the form of protective gear they wear over their ears – and in some advanced cases inside the ear – to help them protect their hearing when gun and rifle shots are fired. In fact, certain shooting ranges in America today will not allow you to take part of any activity at their facility if you arrive without such protection, which just goes to show how seriously NIHL is taken. There really is no excuse for, especially, hunters and shooters, not to wear protection as it is available in many different styles and models to ensure that everyone has access to these. And not all of these are expensive either, even though the person that practices shooting
and hunting as a hobby or pastime is probably in a position to buy better protection than disposable foam plugs which one may simply keep as a backup anyway for the time you have left your good protection such as a good set of muffs – or electronic plugs – at home. These different plugs and muffs help block out the loud sounds that emanate from the firearm when the trigger is pulled. For those who are not convinced, it may be a good idea to look at some basic facts: Noise levels above 70 dB (decibels, the unit in which sound is measured) over prolonged periods may affect your hearing, and even one exposure over 120 may cause real damage immediately – in some cases permanent damage such as deafness. Normal, everyday sounds such as conversation between people (not screaming) measures at around 60 – 70 dB, a whisper at 30, traffic noise over 80 (around 80 – 85), a siren at 120, and firearms at around 140 dB. This, it is clear, is way above the 120 mentioned earlier, which may be real cause for concern. Therefore hunters and shooters, more than ever before, do protect their hearing by purchasing some protective gear which could be the cheap foam plugs, or ear muffs – or the modern choices of electronic earplugs which eliminate harsh sound but still allow normal sound at acceptable dB levels through. This category is known for the best protection and offers, much more than other alternatives, the best opportunity to hunters and shooters to ensure they do not damage their hearing when they fire away. These can be bought from specialist retailers and good online services.
