Description
Ear Protectors are essential personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to shield the ears from excessive noise levels, which can lead to hearing loss or damage over time. They are widely used in environments with high noise exposure, such as construction sites, manufacturing facilities, airports, and concerts. By effectively reducing noise to safe levels, ear protectors help maintain auditory health and improve focus and productivity in noisy workplaces.
