A member asked:

Are earplugs safe to wear all the time, to prevent long term hearing loss?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Loud workplace?: If you work in a loud environment such as an airport, the earplugs will be needed. However, if you wear in other venues, you may not be aware of warnings, vehicle horns, sirens, and could be late in responding to risks.
