Do you hear that?

Paint departments in the film industry generally have average sound levels of 82 dBA; you should be wearing Class C hearing protection.

Tests show sound levels are generally safe, so Class C earplugs or earmuffs will provide enough protection for average sound levels in a paint department. For louder work, such as power sanding, drilling, hammering, cutting etc, consider wearing Class A or B hearing protection. For noise levels above 110 dBA (roughly, the sound level of a power saw) consider wearing earmuffs (Class B) and earplugs (Class A) together.
