Hearing Protection

Protection auditive

Description

“Getting used to the noise” is a mistake that can be dangerous. Hearing impairment is progressive and is often wrongly perceived as being accustomed to the noise. In fact, the damage has already been done. Hearing loss is permanent; a hearing aid can, at best, compensate, but it cannot restore. This is why it is important to be able to identify as quickly as possible the risks for hearing loss and to make every effort to avoid permanent damage.
