PROTECT YOUR HEARING
LIFE IS LOUD! The good news is that noise-induced hearing loss is preventable...
​
You can avoid damaging your hearing by establishing safe listening levels, understanding how much exposure is safe and by wearing hearing protection.
​
Mining, military, music, construction, manufacturing, carpentry…
all these occupations have one thing in common: they’re among the noisiest professions.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates 22 million Americans are exposed to hazardous noise levels at work, making hearing loss the most common work-related injury.

Exposing yourself to high decibel environments can result in permanent damage to your hearing. In the event you find yourself in one of these environments, protect yourself with the proper hearing protection.

The Insta-Mold Hearing Protection Device has been tested for its ability to protect its users from noise induced hearing loss four times on three continents over the last 20 years.
Ranging between 27.1 decibels to 29.0 decibels of protection from dangerous noise the Insta-Mold HPD has a history of rock solid protection at a price thats tough to match.
Earplugs are especially useful to people exposed to excessively noisy devices or environments (80 dB or more).
