Answer

OSHA requires your employer to provide you with hearing protection when you are exposed to loud noises for an extended period of time

Explanation.

loud noises is unwanted sound and is not healthy when exposed to one hearing directly. So wearing sound protection prevents hearing loss caused by exposure of loud noise.

To prevent this people should wear a hearing protector if the noise or sound level at the workplace exceeds 85 decibels(A-weighted) or dBA.. The purpose of wearing hearing protectors is to reduce the noise and to prevent one from the hearing loss..
