SO HOW

TOO LOUD?
Protect your
hearing!
COMFORT ZONE PROTECTION REQUIRED
*Hearing protection is recommended at 85 dB
1. Use hearing protection – earplugs or muffs
2. Make sure your hearing protection fits
3. Rotate jobs so exposure time to loud noises is reduced
4. Make sure cab doors and windows fit tightly and are closed
5. Check that your equipment and machinery is in
good working order
FIVE WAYS
TO PROTECT
YOUR HEARING
Hearing loss is
100% preventable!
Once it's
gone, you
can't get
it back.
Hearing loss in adult
farmers is almost
double that of
non-farmers.
Sounds that
are too loud
for too long
can damage
your hearing
permanently.
