1.10. Hearing Loss — Exposure to high sound levels
can cause permanent hearing loss. The sound
pressure level which leads to hearing loss varies
considerably from one person to another, and
depends on the duration of exposure. The U.S.
Government’s Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) has established the maximum
sound pressure levels that can be with stood without
causing damage, which are shown in the table below.
According to the OSHA regulations, any exposure over
the maximum limits indicated in the table can reduce
the hearing capacity of a person. To prevent
potentially dangerous exposure to high sound
pressure levels, anyone subjected to such levels must
use suitable protection. When a Mackie Designs
product capable of producing high sound levels is
being used, it is therefore necessary to wear ear plugs
or protective earphones when the limits shown in the
table are exceeded.
Consult the specifications provided in the instruction
manual to know the maximum sound pressure (SPL)
the speaker is capable of producing.
