Ear Protection
Hearing Conservation
Noise Conservation is also called
the Noise Standard and is
regulated by OSHA (Occupational
Safety and Health Administration)
OSHA Regulation (29 CFR 1910.95)
Goal - prevent hearing loss
associated with high noise levels at
work
Proper Use of Hearing Protection
It takes just a few minutes
of unprotected exposure at
noise above 115 decibels
to risk hearing damage.

Earplugs not well inserted

into the ear canal will not
provide complete
protection.

Likewise, earmuffs not

snug against the head will
“leak” noise into the ear.
Did You Know?
About 30 million workers are exposed
to hazardous noise on the job. One in 4
of these workers (or 7.5 million
Americans) will develop permanent
hearing loss.
Noise-induced hearing loss is the most
common occupational hazard for
American workers
Hearing loss from noise is slow and
painless; you can have a disability
before you notice it
If you must raise your voice to speak
with someone only 3 feet away, you are
in high (hazardous) noise.
It is 100% preventable
Noise Exposure At Work
This presentation will cover the following topics:

1. Identify potential sources of

hearing loss
2. Learn how to prevent
hearing loss at work
3. Meet regulatory
requirements
4. The purpose of audiometric
testing and how it works
How is Noise Measured?
Noise levels are
measured in decibels
(dB)
Decibels are not linear
measurements
The difference in energy
between 100 decibels
and 110 is not 10% -
actually is 100 times the
sound level pressure
Effects of exposure to loud noise

 Exposure to loud noise will

inevitably cause hearing loss over
time.
 Once the nerves of the inner ear
are destroyed or damaged from
exposure to excessive noise, the
damage is permanent
 Loud noise damages or destroys
the nerves in the inner ear.
 Another effect can be “tinnitus” or
permanent ringing in the ear.
Factors Affecting Hearing Loss

The following factors can affect

hearing loss:
 Noise Intensity or Sound Pressure
 Frequency or Pitch of sound
 Length of Daily Exposure
 Duration of Exposure in Years
 Individual Susceptibility
 Other Factors (disease, genetics,
lifestyle, age, etc.)
When is Noise Too Loud?

• Noise is measured in
units called “decibels” or
“dB”
• If two people 3 feet apart
must shout to be heard,
the background noise is
too loud (above 85
decibels).
• Noise above 140 decibels
causes pain and
immediate hearing loss.
Signs of Hearing Loss

Difficulty hearing people speak.

Inability to hear certain high-pitched or soft
sounds.
Noise or ringing in ears.
Getting complaints that the radio or tv is too
loud.
Long Term Exposure to Noise

• Our ears can recover

from short exposure to
loud noise, but over time
nerve damage will occur.

• The longer and louder

the noise, the greater
chance permanent
damage will occur.

• There is no such thing as

“tough ears” or “getting
used to it”.
Effects of noise to inner ear
Hair cells in inner ear transmit noise signals to the brain

Normal hair cells Noise-damaged hair cells

OSHA Standard
If 8-hour average exceeds 85 dBA
then the employer must:
1. Monitor (measure) exposure and
notify employee of the results
2. Provide audiometric testing
3. Provide hearing protection
4. Provide training
5. Keep records of monitoring and
audiometric testing
Daily Allowable Exposure Times to Noise
The table below shows noise levels and how long a
person can be exposed without hearing protection
before there is damage to the ear.
Noise Level Allowable Exposure Time

85 decibels 8 hours
90 decibels 4 hours
100 decibels 1 hour
105 decibels 30 minutes
110 decibels 15 minutes
115 decibels 0 minutes

Radial arm saw 105 dBA 1 hour
Table saw 96 dBA 3.5 hours
Portable belt sander dBA 100 2 hours
Engineering Controls

Engineering controls are

the most preferred option
in reducing or eliminating
the noise hazard by:
 Reducing or eliminating noise
at the source.
 Interrupting the noise path.
 Reducing reverberation and
structural vibration.
Administrative Controls
If engineering controls do not work to
eliminate the noise hazard, then
administrative controls should be
considered:
 Operate noisy equipment on second
or third shifts.
 Rotate employees through high-noise
areas.
 Modify existing machinery.

 Place noise limit specs. on new

equip.
 Maintain equip. in good condition.

 Use noise control when installed.

 Reporting noisy equip. to supervisor

for repair.
Personal Protective Equipment

If engineering or
administrative controls do
not work to eliminate the
noise hazard, then
personal protective
equipment should be
considered as a last
resort.
This includes using
hearing protection, such
as ear plugs or ear muffs.
Types of Hearing Protection
There are three types of
hearing protection – ear muffs,
earplugs and ear caps.

Ear muffs and earplugs provide

about equal protection, ear
caps somewhat less.
earmuffs

earplugs
ear caps
Types of Hearing Protectors

All hearing protectors are

designed to reduce the intensity
(loudness) of noise to the inner
ear.
They work much better than
wads of cotton or bits of cloth
stuffed in the ear.
All three types have advantages
and disadvantages and people
vary on which they prefer to Cotton doesn’t

use.
Hearing Protection – Ear Plugs

Earplugs are made of foam,

rubber or plastic and are either
one-size-fits-all or in sizes
small, medium and large.
Some are disposable, some are
reusable.
They are lightweight, and
require no maintenance.
They are inserted into the ear
canal.
Ear Plug Comfort
Some people may find ear
plugs uncomfortable to wear
for long periods at first.
Ear plugs rarely cause infection
or prolonged irritation of the
ear canal.
Most people can find a
comfortable fit by trying
several different sizes, types or
brands.
Custom-molded earplugs can
be obtained for maximum
comfort. custom molded
earplugs
Inserting Foam Earplugs
Foam type earplugs are one-size-fits-all and
must be inserted properly into the ear.

Roll earplug into small cylinder first, then insert in ear.

Inserting Foam Earplugs

Earplug incorrectly inserted Earplug correctly inserted

Ear Muffs
Ear muffs cover the whole
ear and are preferred by
some people.

They have replaceable

pads and some high-tech
styles filter out specific
noise pitches.

They last longer than most

plugs.
Attached Earmuffs

Some muffs are attached to

hard hats or goggles.

Some high-tech muffs can

filter out certain frequencies
or have radios inside for
communication in high noise
areas.
Ear Muff Comfort & Glasses

Muffs can be
uncomfortable in hot
weather.

Muffs don’t seal well for

someone with glasses or
heavy sideburns.
Noise Reduction of Hearing Protection

The “noise reduction

rating” or “NRR” of
hearing protection is
measured in decibels.

The NRR is found on

the earmuff or earplug
package. The higher
the number, the
greater the protection.
Hearing Aids Are Not Hearing Protection

Hearing aids do not block out

enough sound for most
workplace noise.
Some hearing aids can
actually increase the noise
level at the ear.
Just turning off the hearing
aids will not prevent further
hearing loss from noise
exposure.
Portable Radios/CD Players/iPods

• These devices do not provide

protection from noise.
• The earphones are not
earmuffs and the music only
adds to background other
noise.
• The music level in the
earphones themselves can
exceed 85 decibels and cause
hearing loss.
Monitoring

Environmental Health and Safety

or the Department of Hearing and
Speech can conduct noise
monitoring to determine the level
of noise exposure.
Sound Level Meter
 Sound level meter - gives an

instant reading
 Sound level dosimeter -
provides an integrated long-
duration (example 6 hour)
reading
EHS maintains record of noise
Sound Level Dosimeter
sampling
Audiometric Testing
All University employees
included in the Hearing
Conservation Program must
undergo initial and annual
audiometric testing.
Audiometric testing is required
by TOSHA for any employees
exposed to excessive noise
These tests, which are done by
trained technicians, are used to
gauge hearing loss in affected
employees and will be provided
at no cost to the employees.
The initial test is used as a
baseline and the annual test is
used to determine if hearing
loss has occurred.
Purpose of Audiometric Testing
The purpose of Audiometric Testing is
to:
 Measure hearing by sending tones

to each ear through headphones.

 Show how one’s hearing compares
to normal hearing based on age.
 Determine whether hearing is being
conserved.
 Alert employee and employer for
noise, age or medical related
hearing loss.
What is an Audiogram?
An audiogram is a printed chart of the results of the
hearing test. They look similar to the results below.

Normal hearing Severe hearing loss

Training
Training is required for employees who
are exposed to noise at or above 8 hr
TWA of 85 dB.
Topics must include:
 Effects of Noise on Hearing

 Purpose of Hearing Protectors

 Advantages and Disadvantages of

Different Types of Hearing Protectors
 Attenuation of Different Types of
