Question

a technician is working at a tire installation shop and is constantly using an impact gun that produces 100 decibels. what type of ear protection is recommended to be worn for protection?

○ a. only the over the ear style should be worn.

○ b. only the in the ear canal style should be worn.

○ c. either the over the ear or in the ear style would be fine.

○ d. neither the over the ear or in the ear style should be worn.

Explanation:

Both over - the - ear and in - ear canal ear protection can reduce noise (like 100 decibels from an impact gun). There's no strict rule that only one type works; either can provide sufficient protection.

Answer:

c. Either the over the ear or in the ear style would be fine.
