On March 13, 2026, 3M China Personal Safety Division joined the Beijing and Shandong Acoustical Societies and several professional organizations to host the “Hearing Health Care for Employees” event in Qingdao. More than 180 representatives from universities, research institutes, enterprises, and occupational health agencies participated.
Speakers highlighted the growing importance of hearing protection in the workplace and the role organizations play in raising safety standards. Experts from leading institutions and 3M shared practical insights on hearing‑loss prevention, occupational health management, audiometry implementation and hearing protection standards.
