Our ear is a highly sensitive sensory organ. It helps us communicate acoustically with our fellow humans and warns us of dangerous situations. We should protect our hearing from damaging environmental influences and also delay age related hearing loss as much as possible.
Innosan GmbH based in Schwetzingen develops and manufactures products for ear protection for everyday use.
Severe and quick changes in air pressure, such as those occurring in airplanes, cable cars, or elevators in skyscrapers directly stress the ear and often cause pain.
Swimming or bathing, particularly in chlorinated water, can cause skin irritation in the ear canal. If one is prone to ear inflammations, then the ear should be protected from water entering the auditory canal even while showering.
Noise and loud music are especially strenuous on the ear. The damaging effect often goes unnoticed at that particular time, but is irreversible and may lead to premature hearing loss.
While strict legal regulations on noise levels exist in the work areas, each is left to fend for their self in personal life.
Beyond “noise protection” it can be important to protect the ear drum (tympanic membrane) from changes in external pressure that are too rapid, e.g., during take off and landing phases in airplanes. For airplane passengers experiencing a problem with the pressure equalisation, the use of a special ear protection product means freedom from an unpleasant feeling or piercing pain during flight. >> SANOHRA fly
In case of injury to the ear drum or insertion of a vent tube, it is necessary to prevent water from reaching the ear drum through the outer auditory canal. Swimming, bathing or showering might cause inflammation of the middle ear. Staying in chlorinated water for an extended period of time can cause the skin in the outer auditory canal to swell and cause inflammation (otitis externa). >> SANOHRA swim
Enjoying music is a matter of personal taste in the type of music. Even the subjectively most fantastic concert can lead to hearing damage if the sound level exceeds 90 dB for an extended period. The unprotected ears of the audience in an open air live concert have to stand sound levels of up to 130 dB. This makes ear protection especially important for musicians and listeners alike. To maintain the music experience, the sound must be reduced over the entire hearing spectrum, i.e. the high notes of the singer must not be reduced more than the bass. This the only way for the band and the audience to enjoy unadulterated music. >> SANOHRA noise
