Hearing Protection and Communications Solutions for Mining

Fewer industries are at higher risk for occupational hearing loss than mining. Whether you are a surface equipment operator, loader, blaster or driller, the prevalence of heavy equipment puts workers at high risk for hearing loss, particularly with long-term exposure. 

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a permanent affliction that interferes with a mine worker’s ability to communicate. It creates a safety hazard when mine workers are unable to hear moving machinery and warnings that can result in catastrophic consequences. 

According to the CDC, 1 out of 4 mine workers has a hearing problem and 4 out of 5 mine workers have a hearing impairment when they reach the mid-60s. 
Hazardous noise is the primary culprit—76% of mine workers are exposed to hazardous noise, the highest prevalence of all major industries.

That is why providing workers with Sensear’s high-noise canceling headsets is critical to mitigating the serious risk of hearing loss.  

Sensear is helping many of the world’s leading mining companies across the world, including in the United States, Australia, Canada, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and South Africa, in solving their high-noise communication problems.
