Noise causes a third of all hearing loss, and once your hearing is gone it doesn’t come back. Follow Dylan from his first guitar to 30 years on a construction site, and see how the choices he made about noise caught up with him.

Learn how your ears work, why every 3 dB jump doubles the noise energy, and what the 82 dB(A) and 85 dB(A) limits mean, plus how dosimeters, noise zones and risk assessments keep you under them.

Then see how to control noise, from “Buy Quiet” and engineering fixes to fitting earplugs and earmuffs properly, and how a committed safety culture protects your hearing.
