'Hear' today, gone tomorrow?...wear Ear Plugs! Earplugs have become an indispensable item at every festival or music event. It is a proven fact that high noise levels of 105.3 dB(A) (equal to that of a chainsaw) can be experienced at a concert, festival or sports occasion and accelerates hearing loss. Hairs within the ear, there to protect the ear from excessive noise, are overloaded and reduce in numbers increasing hear loss over a period of time, which is irreversible. Prevention, through using our earplugs should therefore be considered essential. Orakel earplugs offer on average, a reduction in sound attenuation of 35 dB SNR (A) .
