Noise is unwanted sound —barking dogs, loud music, passing traffic, lawn mowers, industrial
noise. Studies show that over 40 percent of Australians are disturbed at home or lose sleep
because of noise pollution. Everyone reacts differently to noise. What can be unbearable for one
person may pass almost unnoticed by another. How annoyed we become depends on the
loudness, time, place and frequency of noise. Distinct features of noise, such as screeches or
rumbles, are also important.

Noise is measured on the decibel scale. Noise levels, referred to as decibels on the (A) scale
(written as dB(A)) are a good indicator of people’s response to noise. State government
regulations state that our maximum daily noise dose should be no more than the equivalent of
85dB(A) for eight hours a day. Permanent hearing damage is likely to occur if this daily dose
is exceeded repeatedly. Prolonged exposure to noise levels above 85dB(A) can damage inner
ear cells and lead to hearing loss. At first, hearing loss is usually temporary and recovery takes
place over a few days. After further exposure, a person may not fully recover their initial level of
hearing — irreversible damage will have been done, causing deafness. The extent of deafness
depends on the degree of exposure and individual susceptibility. Even brief exposure to very
high levels of 130dB(A) or more can cause instant, irreversible hearing damage.

Taking precaution can prevent hearing loss. At Falls of Sound we make personalised earplugs,
whether it is for industrial noise, hunting, shooting or swimming.
Custom made ear protection plugs are the best solutions if you are serious about protecting
your hearing:
• They are easy to insert and remove and because they are custom made to fit your ear , they
are also comfortable
