The table below aims to demonstrate how long it would take for a symphony orchestra player or singer to be exposed to the upper exposure action value of 85 dB if playing a typical repertoire, for example by composers such as Haydn, Schubert or Vaughan Williams.
Examples of how long it might take for a player to be exposed to the upper exposure action value of 85 dB if playing at the level of a typical symphony performance.
Studies indicate that orchestral musicians can reach the upper exposure action value by playing for as little as 10-25 hours per week

Pre-moulded earplugs (reusable)
Pre-moulded earplugs are generic-fit earplugs shaped for the average user's ear canal. Most have a triple-flanged plug that fits inside the ear canal. These plugs are generally reusable but require regular cleaning. Various types are available including uniform attenuation and amplitude-sensitive.
