Hearing Protection
Did you know that hearing does not regenerate? Hearing damage is irreversible. A hearing aid can, at most, compensate, but will never restore a person’s hearing. Someone subjected to 100 dB (noise of a lawnmower) for 40 hours a week, after 20 years, will, on average, experience a 48% hearing loss. Through this online training, the worker will be made aware of the importance of using adequate hearing protection to preserve their hearing health.
Target Audience
