Dentist Hearing Loss
Products
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.
SOLUTION:
These dental
hearing loss products feature patented SmartWear™ stent
technology. Revolutionary advances in earmold
technology allows for the comfort of a custom fit device
without the need for messy, time-consuming impressions
of the ears. Sound reduction is achieved by
utilizing an attenuated filter protector system;
allowing clear, natural communication while protecting
the ear from loud and hazardous sound levels.
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.

40% of Americans with hearing loss are under the age of 65 – you don’t have to
be one of them! Don’t let your career choice interfere with your quality
of life: protect your hearing from hazardous noise levels in the
workplace.

OCCUPATIONAL HEARING
CONSERVATION:
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
mandates that employers provide hearing conservation
programs for their employees in workplaces where noise
levels equal or exceed 85 dB(A) for an eight-hour
time-weighted average. An
occupational hearing conservation program includes
engineering and administrative controls to reduce noise
exposures, employee training in the use of hearing
protection and annual audiometry for all workers who are
exposed to noise.
