Protect your hearing

What it is

Noise damage is permanent and cumulative — concerts, power tools, reserve duty, headphones.

from 18 · until 120

Plugs for loud places; 60% volume, 60 minutes

Always on

1. Keep a pair of reusable earplugs in the bag or the car.
2. If you must raise your voice to be heard at arm's length, it is loud enough to cause damage.
3. Ringing after a loud night is a warning, not a normal side effect.
