Show notes:

• In the business of protecting the health of employees (hearing protection and hygiene)
• Above 85dB is the point where hearing protection is recommended
• The problem with noise is when it’s painful, it’s too late.  Consequences of hearing loss, and unfortunately no medication or cure after the fact.
• Ear muffs vs disposable ear plugs.  Problem with the ear plugs is the thinking of one size fits all.
• Cotral produces hearing protection devices that are customised for each person, for each of their ears using 3D scanning.  The result is a perfect fit, thanks to the moulded, customised product.
• Observation that Australian businesses don’t value ear protection as European businesses
• Favourite quote: “It always seems impossible until it is done - Nelson Mandela”
