In controlling recreational noise
exposure ,you should be aware that it should not be too loud for extended
period of time. Listening to music through earphone or speaker is very popular
but there are other recreational activities which may also produce excessive
loud sound such as in motor sports ,firearms shooting and even using home
appliances and baby toys.
For whatever reasons you have to be in a noisy environment , noise filters in
shape of custom earmould can be a good option to help reduce harmful noise
reaching your ears.

Exposure to Loud Noise
People with prolonged exposure to loud noise
either recreational or occupational ,are at risk of developing Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) and tinnitus.
Many studies overseas and
locally have documented and discussed this issue.
Enjoying music that is too loud either through
speakers or headphones have been shown to lead to NIHL and tinnitus.
People that work in factory, construction with machinery as well as with firearms are all very prone to have NIHL if they are working without
proper use of Hearing Protection Device.
National Institute of
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends only 8 hours of exposure for
85dB noise . For every 3dBAs over 85dBA, the permissible exposure time before
possible damage can occur is cut in half.
