Make a difference with daily and weekly check-ins

Enjoy the benefits of earplug use
-
Since NRR is a laboratory-derived value, the actual dB protection in real world is about half that
-
So NRR of 30dB, will provide about 15dB noise reduction to your ears
-
For example: 90 dB on LISTEN screen dB value (red) will be lowered to 75 dB (green)

-
Put distance from source
-
Step out and take breaks to rest your ears
-
-
Headphone sound: Lower volume to about half
-
Special occasion 'Loud' hearing: Take a break and stay in green zone for the next few days
