Dentists and dental professionals are at-risk for permanent hearing loss.

Research has identified a link between the use of dental equipment and noise induced hearing loss.  According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, noise induced hearing loss is the most common occupational injury; often requiring expensive digital hearing aids to accommodate the loss of hearing.

PATENTED HEARING LOSS PRODUCT:
The patented Nitinol stent can withstand many thousands of compressions and expansions without failure.  Dentist hearing loss ear plugs hearing protection systems are made of Medical grade, low durometer silicone that will never crack, shrink or harden.
