Get to know our Healthy Hearing Program for sports clubs. With this program, your club can address all the risks of hearing damage that members may encounter while participating in sports activities. For instance, it is advisable to regularly check the ears of members engaged in activities involving prolonged exposure to loud noises, such as shooting sports.
The Healthy Hearing Program aims to keep athletes' ears healthy. As part of the program, your members will receive custom-fit earplugs, annual check-ups, and tips and tricks to prevent hearing damage during their favorite sports activities.
We assess all the sounds and risks that you or the employee encounter daily. This is done through a questionnaire and sound measurements. Afterward, we create a personalized risk profile. You will see how your hearing will develop until the age of 65 if no action is taken to prevent hearing damage. This is important for raising awareness, so that behavioral coaching can have a more significant effect.
The second phase of the Healthy Hearing Program focuses on early detection of hearing damage. Therefore, we conduct a hearing scan right away. Our method is faster, easier, more accurate, and unaffected by external factors. With this scan, we examine the functioning of the entire ear and can detect any hearing damage at a very early stage. So early that you might not even notice any potential hearing damage yourself!
If it is impossible to address the source of the noise, then we need to protect you with hearing protectors. We select a hearing protector that best suits the situation and you. However, from experience, we know that even custom-made hearing protection is sometimes insufficiently or incorrectly worn. That’s why we also focus on consistent use and annually check the functionality of the hearing protector.
The impact of individual coaching is much greater than any other form of training or guidance. During the individual coaching sessions, you will find out:
Sports are healthy and good for a person. However, not every sport is also good for the ears. During some sports, the exposure to noise is so significant that athletes cannot do without proper hearing protection. This includes sports such as shooting, motorsports, and various watersports like surfing, waterskiing, flyboarding, and jet skiing.
In some cases, hearing protection is an essential part of the equipment for sports. Just as football players wear shin guards during football, shooting, motor, or watersports enthusiasts wear earplugs during their sport to protect their ears from permanent hearing damage.
As a sports club, you can consider promoting the use of earplugs among your members as a duty of care. By doing so, you prevent your members from experiencing hearing damage and allow them to enjoy their favorite sports for a longer time.
At HearingCoach, we offer sports clubs the necessary hearing protection to safeguard the ears of their members from high sound levels. We develop custom-fit earplugs specifically tailored to the sport your members engage in, whether it’s swimming, surfing, shooting, or motocross.
These earplugs are precisely made to ensure no sound leaks past the earplugs while still allowing ambient sounds to pass through. Athletes can communicate with their sport buddies and hear important signals, ensuring their safety, for example, when riding a motorcycle on the road.
There are several sports where good hearing protection is an absolute must due to high sound levels during the activities. At HearingCoach, we always recommend sports clubs to encourage the use of earplugs in the following activities:
