this might be a stupid question but me and my girlfriend have been arguing for about two days about whether gangplank eats an orange or tangerine when he w’s; i’ve been telling her it’s an orange but she’s insistent about it being a tangerine. i’ve consulted the league wiki and done independent polling and they all seem to agree that it was an orange, but i thought i would ask for a final opinion to confirm it. please fix our relationship once and for all

HearingprotectionPPEstandards

Users may become isolated from their environment, leading to safety risks. This generally may have a tendency to remove the hearing protection and therefore risk damage to their hearing.

The information is intended as a guide rather than a substitute for using one of the standardised methods for calculating hearing protection performance. It will not be appropriate if there are significant low-frequency components to the noise in question.

The table below gives an indication of the protector factor that is likely to be suitable for different levels of noise (the level during a particular work task, not the daily personal noise exposure). It is based on the single number rating (SNR) value provided with a hearing protection device.

To avoid overprotection, you should use hearing protection with SNR values at the lower end of those shown in the table below when the noise is at the lower end of the corresponding range of levels.

Protectors that reduce the level at the ear to below 70 dB should be avoided, since this over-protection may cause difficulties with communication and hearing warning signals.

Hearing protection will only be effective when used and fitted correctly. It should be worn at all times in a noisy environment, as removing it for only a few minutes will considerably lower the protection to the wearer.
