Noise is present in many professional environments such as construction sites, workshops and factories. It has immediate and measurable effects on employees’ health and performance. When exposure is repeated and prolonged, the consequences can become irreversible.
Workplace noise: an underestimated risk
The effects of noise go far beyond occupational hearing loss. They often appear from the very first exposures and may include:
- General fatigue and stress
- Headaches and sleep disturbances
- Concentration difficulties
- Reduced productivity
For businesses, these consequences translate into an increased risk of accidents, more frequent errors, and costs related to absenteeism and sick leave. The direct cost of a single case for a company can exceed €100,000 per affected employee, without even accounting for indirect costs such as loss of productivity, temporary replacement, and a deteriorated social climate.
In other words: doing nothing is more expensive than prevention.
The solutions: protect without isolating
At Elacin, we know that employees will only wear hearing protection if it is:
- Comfortable enough for long-term use
- Effective enough to provide full protection during exposure
- Practical enough to allow communication and awareness of warning signals
Our custom-made hearing protectors are designed to meet these essential needs: protecting employees without cutting social interaction or reducing vigilance.
Investing in employee well-being
Investing in your team’s hearing health is not just about meeting legal requirements. It’s about improving well-being, reducing accident risks, and strengthening your company’s overall performance - whether the challenge is occasional high noise levels or continuous exposure throughout the day.
