SLC80 Explained

Under AS/NZS 1270:2002, hearing protection is tested for its Sound Level Conversion (SLC80) rating, which indicates the difference between the environmental noise and the sound reaching the wearer’s ears. This rating helps determine the appropriate Class of hearing protection for specific noise levels.

Australian and New Zealand workplaces are obligated under AS/NZS 1269.3:2005 to:

  • Conduct noise level surveys to assess exposure (measured as LAeq,8h).
  • Provide suitable hearing protection for workers exposed to noise above 85 dB(A).
  • Ensure hearing protection is maintained and properly fitted to achieve effective attenuation.

Employers must select hearing protection suitable for the measured noise levels, ensuring compliance with occupational noise management regulations.

    Best ear plugs I've used

    I have had to wear ear plugs when sleeping after working night shift for a couple of years, a few years ago.

    I either end up taking them out half way through my sleep, or waking up with very sore ears.

    I have regular MRIs and they provide me with ear plugs before each one.. and they were so comfortable and efficient I would hold onto them and take them home and use them for as long as I could.

    I finally email the radiology clinic to find out the make and brand so I could order some.

    My Dad snores like nothing you've heard before, and I gave my Mum a pair and she was equally as impressed
