The correct technique was reviewed with the employee as well as indicators as to when double hearing protection is required and when to wear hearing protection within the home environment with power tools, lawn, mower and snow blower, to decrease the risk of hearing loss.

Reviewing proper use of hearing protection before commencing employment reduced the risk of future noise induced hearing loss claims.
