   Choosing the most appropriate hearing protection device, both with appropriate level of attenuation and appropriate fit for the individual. [5] Ideally, the device should limit the sound intensity that reaches the ear to levels below 85 dBA. If the attenuation does not limit the noise levels to that level, other alternatives should be sought.
