Abstract Following some considerations on structural and technical measures for noise control, this data sheet deals with the noise conditions where the use of ear protectors is recommended or mandatory. To avoid hearing loss, ear protectors must be worn at sound levels above 90dB(A). The various types and the appropriate choice of ear protectors (ear muffs, ear plugs, glassdown), and their noise attenuation properties are surveyed.
