Repeated exposure to sound levels above 85 decibels (the sound of an idling bulldozer) can cause permanent, irreparable hearing loss. To give you perspective, hearing professionals consider exposure to loud music, either live or through headphones, to be particularly dangerous with sound intensity sometimes reaching 100 to 115 decibels (dB). This is where hearing protection, like earplugs, comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While hearing loss is irreversible, that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not preventable. Knowledge, hearing protection, and prevention can help keep your hearing healthy and you happy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Custom Hearing Protection Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4>For Riders, Rockers, Shooters, and Everyone in Between<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/nwearinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/TRU_Custom_Purple-1280x960.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nwearinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/TRU_Custom_Purple-1280x960.png 1280w, https:\/\/nwearinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/TRU_Custom_Purple-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/nwearinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/TRU_Custom_Purple-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/nwearinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/TRU_Custom_Purple.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>NIHL happens in all situations from concerts to recreational sports, from your work environment to your personal life.
