CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Hugh was a dental assistant for over three years. He failed to discover the possible connection between dental drills and the hearing loss in the dental profession. Initially, Hugh suffered from temporary hearing loss. As he gradually found out the causes for his hearing impairment, he underwent a clinical hearing evaluation. The doctors then suggested he use hearing protection earplugs to avoid the permanent hearing loss.

Dentistry can lead to the direct loss of hearing due to exposure to loud sounds in the dental environment. In fact, dental drills used by the dentists and dental assistants generate excessive high frequencies which are above 2 KHz. This might not seem significant, but research has proven that this noise is enough to cause tinnitus and lead to hearing loss after a full day at work. Constant exposure to sound louder than 85 decibels can permanently damage your hearing. As the hearing impairment takes place gradually, identification via initial signs and symptoms will likely be too late. It is here where noise protection earplugs play a major role in the protecting dentists’ ears.

These electronic ear plugs for dental professionals and patients are designed to reduce loud noises and prevent hearing damage and loss. In these noise protection earplugs for dentists, the circuitry allows safe sounds to pass naturally while providing simultaneous protection against dangerous frequencies/decibels. Dentists can converse with their patients clearly without muffling as with foam plugs and passive filters. The high fidelity, flat response of these electronic earplugs turns down the volume without distorting the quality of the sound.

As the dental earplugs are small and lightweight, they are almost invisible to others and comfortable to wear throughout the work day. Another advantage of these earplugs for dentists is that they are easy to clean, store, and activate.

If you are a doctor between age group of 30 and 65 years who actively practices, it is a ‘must’ for you to buy dental protection earplugs and prevent future hearing issues!

Also, anxiety due to the noise produced in the dental clinic is considered to be one of the major reasons for the patients to avoid dental visits. DI-20 specs by Dental Innovations LLC are an ideal solution for those who fear the sound of the drill. These earplugs which are designed for patient noise protection are also re-usable as the tip can be replaced for the next time patient.
