for example, you’re in a loud train station or in a place with loud tools but you hardly hear anything with noise cancelation. why is this not considered hearing protection?
In: 3
Active noise cancelling headphones do not filter out all sounds. In fact, many loud tools are not going to be affected at all.
And there in lies the crux of the matter. Active noise cancelling doesn’t stop all noise. They also have limits in terms of how much sound and what types of sound they can cancel out.
It is hard to make a claim that they protect your hearing when they don’t protect your hearing consistently.
