Understanding Noise Hazards: Protecting Workers from Hearing Loss

Exposure to high noise levels in industrial settings can lead to permanent hearing loss. 🛑
Identify noise hazards early, provide ear protection, and enforce safety protocols. 🎧
Protect your team—safe ears = safer workspaces! ✅

The 3DMEs are nice because I can dial in how much (or little) ambient sound I hear, so I can get a little more of the top end of my arco playing in Band situations, while still getting good fundamental via the DI. This looks quite promising for the future. #bassist #doublebass #hearingprotection #militaryband #windband #stringbass #bassguitar 3/3

Made a few simple maximum volume level measurements for the family’s HT collection to see which are loudest and in what configuration (radio alone or radio + speaker microphone). Have a better understanding of what radios to use for different operating conditions after these tests. #HamRadio #AudioTest #HearingProtection #SDR

Photograph of simple audio level test using Radio Shack sound level meter and FM signal generator for test signal. Item under test was positioned ~12" from the meter and moved around slightly to maximize measured level. Was a very loud test conducted with hearing protection and closed door to rest of the house.

Screen capture of the recorded data file for today's maximum level audio test. Sixteen measurements were made to better understand audio levels present with different radio types and with/without speaker microphones attached. As suspected the Yaesu VX-8 were the quietest (these are hard to hear/use outside on busy streets).

Inviting the #Fediverse to join another #Jabber / #XMPP channel I co-moderate - the Personal Protective Equipment channel. #PPE

Protect yourself from hazardous substances, #pollution, diseases ( #CovidIsNotOver !), #surveillance, police repression, and other threats. Or maybe just look cool and #cyberpunk.
Discuss cloth #masks, surgical masks, filtering facepiece (FFP) #respirators, reusable #elastomeric respirators (half-face or full-face), source control, powered air purifying respirators (PAPRs), and more.
Discussion of #EyeProtection, #HearingProtection, #HeadProtection and similar also welcome.

You can join without a client or an account. Just visit chat.queer-spark.org/#/guest?join=ppe@conference.queer-spark.org

But for the best experience, I recommend using a proper client. The easiest way is to install Quicksy or Prāv on your phone, if you don’t mind using your phone number.

Otherwise, install one or more of the following clients, and use them to register an account on the conversations.im server (see providers.xmpp.net or compliance.conversations.im/old for more server recommendations) -

Movim or ConverseJS - web clients, for those who don’t fancy installing anything
Monocles Chat, Cheogram, or Conversations on modern Android devices. They’re paid on app stores, and free of cost on F-Droid.
Yaxim or Bruno on old/low-end Android devices
Monal or Siskin on iOS
Gajim on Linux, Windows, and Mac
Monal on Mac
Poezio or Profanity in the terminal
Convo on KaiOS/JioPhone

…once you’re set up, open this link to join the channel - invite.joinjabber.org/#ppe@conference.queer-spark.org?join (or join ppe@conference.queer-spark.org from your client)

If you’re new to Jabber/XMPP (e.g. coming from #WhatsApp #Matrix #IRC #Signal #Telegram #Discord etc), The Quick and Easy Guide to Jabber/XMPP explains why it’s the best communications platform we have, why it’s important that we push for it, and helps new users get started.

🌟 𝗧𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘀 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 (𝟯𝗿𝗱 - 𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗲𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆) 🌟 is here, and it's time to spread the word about this often misunderstood condition! Tinnitus affects 15-20% of people and is not a condition itself but a symptom of underlying issues like age-related hearing loss, ear injuries, or circulatory disorders.

📜 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀:

Ancient Egyptians called it the "bewitched ear" and used natural remedies.
Early Greco-Romans treated it symptomatically, using techniques like masking.
The Middle Ages saw experimentation with methods like ear candling.
French physician Jean Marie Gaspard Itard in the 19th century advanced the study of tinnitus, associating it with hearing loss.

🔍 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: While there's no universal cure, ongoing research and technological advancements have made managing tinnitus more feasible. If you experience persistent tinnitus, consult an audiologist.

Let's raise awareness and support those affected! 💙

Wasn't planning to get more ear plugs, but #EarGasm rarely offers discounts greater than 15%. At 25%, I may as well get myself another spare set since some of my plugs are over seven years old, at this point.

Took 4 months + 3 attempts including one where an adorable Ukrainian hearing specialist shamed me for having baby-sized ears, but my #motorcycle hearing protection finally arrived 😂

We have tickets for Rebellion '25 in Blackpool.
I never bought tickets for something that far in the future - but after our first visit in '23, I'm so excited 😛🤘340 days - a long wait

Will have to book flights soon and invest in better hearing protection 'til then - my tinnitus doesn't need to get worse :)

Any recommendations?
