Sallie's peer review by Kelly
1. '''First, what does the article do well? Is there anything from your review that impressed you? Any turn of phrase that described the subject in a clear way?''' The article is pretty short, but does not surprise me based on the topic. The leading paragraph was very well written and gives a good summary of what ear protection is and why it is needed. A more thorough description of the types of ear protection and the amount of noise that someone can be exposed to was a great addition to this article. Sallie added sources to the article that add relevance and give people articles to look into for more information. She also added that two types of hearing protection may be needed in some cases, which many people may not consider.

2. '''What changes would you suggest the author apply to the article? Why would those changes be an improvement? ''' One thing I would add would be to spell out NIOSH and/or make it a link to the NIOSH wikipedia page. This will help those that are not sure what NIOSH is and can get more information.

3. What's the most important thing the author could do to improve the article? Sallie may want to consider adding a little bit more about NRR or adding a source. I think this would be beneficial because that is what most people see when they buy ear protection at a store or online.

4. Did you notice anything about the article you reviewed that could be applicable to your own article? My article on noise pollution can really apply to this article because ear protection may be needed in environments where noise pollution is high. Adding a link to this ear protection page in my article would give those concerned about noise pollution in their area a way to research whether ear protection is needed and the different options available.
