2. Earplug - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earplug

   Using both ear muffs (whether passive or active) and earplugs simultaneously results in maximum protection, but the efficacy of such combined protection relative to preventing permanent ear damage is inconclusive, with evidence indicating that a combined noise reduction ratio (NRR) of only 36 dB (C-weighted) is the maximum possible using ear ...

3. Hearing protection device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_protection_device

   In some occasions, multiple types of ear protection can be used together to increase the NRR. For example, foam earplugs can be worn in-conjunction with earmuffs. Each type of ear protection has what is called a noise reduction rating (NRR). This gives the consumer an estimate of how much noise is being reduced before reaching the individual's ear.

4. Hearing protection fit-testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_protection_fit-testing

   Wearing or inserting the hearing protection device correctly so it seals the wearer's ear canal, using the "roll-pull-hold" method for foam earplugs, and ensuring earmuffs create an unbroken seal around each ear. [7] Fit-testing hearing protection can facilitate an appropriate choice of hearing protection, and allow for the professional ...

5. Noise-cancelling headphones - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-cancelling_headphones

   Noise cancellation to eliminate ambient noise is never passive because of the circuitry required, so references to passive noise cancellation actually are referring to products featuring sound isolation. To prevent higher-frequency noise from reaching the ear, most noise-cancelling headphones depend on sound isolation or soundproofing.

6. Noise-induced hearing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-induced_hearing_loss

   This includes but is not limited to personal noise reduction through the use of ear protection (i.e. earplugs and earmuffs), education, and hearing conservation programs. For the average person, there are three basic things that one can do to prevent NIHL: turn down the volume on devices, move away from the source of noise, and wear hearing ...

7. Sensory processing disorder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing_disorder

   A 2019 review found sensory integration therapy to be effective for autism spectrum disorder. [63] Another study from 2018 backs up the intervention for children with special needs, [64] Additionally, the American Occupational Therapy Association supports the intervention. [65]

8. Autism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism

   Autism spectrum disorder [a] (ASD), or simply autism, is a neurodevelopmental disorder "characterized by persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across multiple contexts" and "restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities". [11] Sensory abnormalities are also included in the diagnostic manuals ...

9. Hearing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_loss

   Ear protection, if used correctly, can reduce noise to safer levels, but often, providing them is not sufficient to prevent hearing loss. Engineering noise out and other solutions such as proper maintenance of equipment can lead to noise reduction, but further field studies on resulting noise exposures following such interventions are needed.
