EAR PLUGS
       
 Ear plugs and Ear Muffs help to reduce the exposure to high levels of damaging sounds that can cause irreversible damage or hearing loss. Using earplugs while in an environment that produces noise above NIOSH recommendations will greatly benefit your workers.
        Please note, however , that prolonged use of earplugs, such as regularly wearing them to sleep, will cause earwax to build up and plug the outer ear, since it blocks the normal flow of earwax outwards. This can result in tinnitus, hearing loss, discharge, pain or infection.
 
SOME SAFETY TIPS WHEN USING EARPLUGS
       While inserting your earplugs, this may cause the air pressure in the outer ear to rise, in effect pushing against the eardrum. This can be made much worse when the earplug is already inserted and completely expanded foam earplugs are pushed further into the ear because the user is trying to reduce sound levels more. To bypass the risk, such earplugs are instead removed, compressed and inserted to the desired depth.
      While removing your earplugs, carefully un-screw or jiggle out rather than yank out reducing the negative pressure which will pull on the ear drum.
