Could ear plugs help you get a good night’s sleep?
Your hearing is even more sensitive than you think. We have 16,000 delicate receptors in our ears that are essential to hearing, but once damaged, they can’t grow back. That’s why it’s so important not to exceed the safe sound limit of 85 decibels for long periods of time. So, if you live, work or play in a noisy environment, earplugs are essential for good hearing protection. But they’re also very useful for helping you get a good night’s sleep.

How Do Hearing Aids Work?
What is a hearing aid, and how does it work? A hearing aid is a small electronic device which sits neatly in or behind the ear and is worn by people with hearing loss to help them hear sound more clearly. Hearing aids work to adjust sound, making speech clear and audible to the wearer. They can also reduce the impact of tinnitus and background or environmental sound.
