NOISE Induced Hearing Loss is the world’s most common occupational illness and the primary cause of hearing loss which inflicts one out of six Australians.
Australian company Sensear is using Safe Work Australia Week Oct 19-25 to create awareness of the huge problem of NIHL in the workplace — officially launching the newest product in their range of Smart Hearing devices that suppress dangerous noise whilst simultaneously elevating speech.
Put simply, Sensear devices allow speech to be heard while protecting users from dangerous background found in industrial environments, noisy restaurants, or the pounding vibes of a nightclub.
The new Sensear Ear Muff uses the patent pending revolutionary SENS® (Speech Enhancing Noise Suppression) technology, a world first technology that minimises dangerous industrial noise while allowing face to face, mobile phone and two-way radio communication.
According to Australian Hearing, loud noise is the number one preventable cause of hearing loss. Damage due to noise exposure is cumulative. This means the higher the noise level and the longer the exposure, the greater the damage.
Joining Sensear as a ‘Hearing Ambassador’ is popular ‘Home and Away’ actor Jon Sivewright (Tony Holden) who suffers from tinnitus following a three-year stint working in the mining industry in W.A.
