Good afternoon ivanosky,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


I understand you have some questions about the level of sound AirPods Pro can block and if they can be used for safety ear plugs. The resources below will provide some information about the noice cancelling features of the AirPods Pro, the new Noise app, and the Apple Hearing Study. You would need to contact your employer regarding what safety devices are approved in the workplace for high noise environments.


Connect and use your AirPods and AirPods Pro


AirPods Pro Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode


Use the Noise app on your Apple Watch

"How to measure the sound levels around you

After you set up the Noise app, you can open the app to measure sound levels around you or add a Noise complication to your watch face to view this information at a glance.

You can also check Environmental Sound Levels, Headphone Audio Levels, and Noise Notifications in the Hearing category in the Health app on your iPhone. Learn how to set up and use the Health app.

To completely turn off Noise measurements, turn off Environmental Sound Measurements."


Apple announces three groundbreaking health studies - Apple Newsroom - September 10, 2019

"Apple today announced three unprecedented medical studies, in partnership with leading academic and research institutions, that will reach more participants than has ever been possible. The studies will be available on the new Research app,1 which democratizes how medical research is conducted by bringing together academic medical institutions, healthcare organizations and the Apple products customers already make a part of their everyday life. Participants will contribute to potential medical discoveries and help create the next generation of innovative health products. The Research app will be available as a free download in the App Store later this year.

"Apple Hearing Study

Conducted in conjunction with the University of Michigan, this groundbreaking study will advance the understanding of how hearing could be impacted over time by exposure to sound at certain levels. Researchers will collect headphone and environmental sound exposure data over time and determine how it affects your hearing, stress levels, and cardiovascular health. The study data will also be shared with the World Health Organization as a contribution to its Make Listening Safe initiative."


Take care.
