Is There An Alternative For Earplugs During Hard Work?
We have employees who complain that they can not wear their required earplugs due to headaches. They get the headaches when wearing the earplugs, but not when they do not wear them. Their work is very hard and they are bent over 90 degrees for a good portion of the time. Each one moves over 100,000 pounds of brick in approx. 5 hours each day. Does this make any sense?

hello
It is likely that the headache is due to the dust particles causing a sinus infection and not related to the ear plugs. Please ask an ent doctor to examine your employees , so that the exact reason can be found and managed accordingly.
