Is it OK to wear noise Cancelling headphones at work?


Is it OK to wear noise Cancelling headphones at work? Active noise-canceling headphones should not be used in work environments as they block out almost all sounds, including those that may be needed. This may prevent workers from hearing important noises such as alarms and speech or warnings from colleagues.


Does noise cancelling prevent ear damage?

Current research on the actual extent of hearing protection offered by noise-canceling headphones is limited. While noise-canceling technology can effectively reduce the perception of external sounds, it does not necessarily eliminate the potential for hearing damage.
