Why Lot Attendants & Parking Staff Need Reliable Hearing Protection

The Overlooked Noise Hazard in Parking Operations

Lot attendants and parking staff play a critical role in managing traffic, assisting event-goers, and maintaining smooth parking operations. However, few people realize that working in a parking lot comes with serious noise exposure risks.

From revving engines, honking horns, loud crowds, and overhead PA systems, parking attendants and valet workers are exposed to consistent high-decibel noise throughout their shifts. Over time, this exposure can cause permanent hearing loss and chronic tinnitus if proper protection isn’t used.

That’s why Spares High Fidelity Earplugs are the ideal solution for parking staff who need to protect their hearing without blocking important sounds like customer interactions and safety cues.
