People can protect themselves from very loud sounds either 1) by being somewhere other than where the sound is, or 2) by putting a sound barrier between themselves and the source of the sound.
Sound barriers can be
- something enclosing the source of the sound and absorbing it or preventing it from being transmitted,
- a large enough barrier between the sound source and the person that reflects or deflects the sound wave, or that absorbs the sound energy very efficiently,
- a barrier that surrounds the person, like a sound-proof booth, preventing the sound from reaching the person, or
- personal protective equipment like ear muff hearing protectors or ear plugs, that stop the sound from reaching the middle and inner ear.
Personal protective equipment is by far the least effective protection from loud sonds, but somethings must be used as a last resort when everything else has been placed and is not effective enough, or when the other methods cannot be applied for practical reasons.
