The pinna11/17/2009 |
Why does ‘cupping’ the pinna with your hand or a headphone provide better protection from loud sounds than ear plugs?"
Ear plugs do a good job for most kinds of noise exposure (depending upon the type of ear plug), but the hand can provide additional protection to the ear. For very loud sounds, ear muffs can also help and are some times used more frequently.
