Ear defenders reduce the amount of sound coming through from loud or repetitive noises that could potentially damage an individuals hearing or cause hearing loss. They do not completely block out noise, however, when selecting the correct ear defender, it can reduce the risk of damage to hearing.

Generally, ear defenders should be worn when working with loud or repetitive noises that measure above 85 decibels over an 8-hour time period. There are, however, parameters that are set by the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) that consider the exposed time period to noises over 85 decibels and when hearing protection is absolutely essential.

The highest NRR rating for ear defenders is 31. Combined with earplugs, this rating can increase to an even higher rating of 36.
