A man works to be happy. He takes care of himself to live longer so as to enjoy the fruits of his labor. As such, he eats a balanced diet and exercises regularly. In the performance of his work, he protects himself too by adhering to the safety measures and procedures set in the workplace. Employers have to adhere to the regulations to protect their workers from the hazards of their job.

At work, there are different ways being observed to protect the person from any work-related injuries such as wearing the prescribed fire proof outfit from head to foot like the firemen, wearing special mask/eyeglasses for welders, helmet for motorcycle riders, and bullet proof vest for special protection of people performing risky mission. It seems the whole body is protected. However, the small canals in the person’s face are least protected, the ears.

Inability to hear affects not only a person’s personality but most of all his happiness. Thus, whether at work or play, noise reduction should be taken into consideration to protect the sense of hearing. Usually, individuals use the noise reduction headphones so as not to disturb others. Unknown to them, they too can also be victims of deafness or loss of hearing.

Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that 250 million people have a disabling degree of hearing impairment. It was also found out that noise induced hearing loss is the number one occupational illness worldwide. It costs a big amount of wealth to have cochear implant/operation for better hearing.

This information made me searched the internet for hearing protection. With this, I discovered the Sonomax Hearing Healthcare Inc. They make hearing protection and communication enabling products. They make a SonoCustom that blocks out hazardous noise, and still allows the users to hear conversations. This is an instant-fit expansion earpiece. Available also is the SonoPass, which is the Sonomax’s proprietary computer-generated proof-of performance software. Sonomax offers too SonoPlatform, which is the patented SonoCustom for use in assisted/active hearing applications. Among these three products, I only need the SonoCustom for my hearing protection. Like me, if you are exposed to noise or loud sounds, you too have to protect yourself.
