Avoid Dangerous Noise Levels with Sound Meters

Exposure to loud noises causes permanent hearing damage, but sound level meters can indicate when hearing protection is needed. OBIAT Electronics offers an assortment of meters and calibrating equipment to suit your needs.

Most people are familiar with the eardrum and its association with the ability to hear. However, the hair-like structures inside the cochlea are more susceptible to damage and cause the ringing you hear after excessive noise exposure. Loud noises cause damage to the structures, yet they still send signals to the brain which is interpreted as the ringing in your ears. The cells can repair themselves somewhat however further exposure to high noise levels will cause you to lose hearing in the higher frequency ranges and can create a permanent ringing in the ears.

Sound level meters can be used in industrial settings to measure if the noise reaches levels that would require workers to wear protection. A sound level meter can also be used to quantify the sound reduction created when equipment and appliances are repaired. For example, a technician fixing a dishwasher can show the homeowner the difference in noise levels before and after maintenance. The devices are also used to protect the hearing of the public such as ensuring proper aircraft insulation against excessive engine noise.
