Industrial Custom Hearing Protection for Employees

Custom Hearing Protection: The Most Effective Type of Hearing Protection

Hearing protection is only effective when worn 100% of the time the employee is exposed to noise. Custom hearing protection ensures it fits correctly, is worn accurately, and doesn't need to be removed for communication.

Attenuation achieved in a laboratory overestimates the actual protection when in use. If the hearing protection doesn't fit correctly, or is not properly worn, it will be significantly less effective in reducing noise exposure.

Our custom hearing protection ensures comfort & safe communication, while providing maximum protection against noise-induced hearing loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

Benefits of Custom Hearing Protection

1. Fits correctly

You wouldn't expect employees to wear one-size-fits-all shoes, so why do it with hearing protection? Custom hearing protection fits all types of ears, meaning employees are more likely to use it.

2. Worn consistently

Custom hearing protection is more comfortable than universal fit hearing protection. Since employees wear it more regularly than other types of hearing protection, it proves to be much more effective.

3. Allows for safe communication

If solid earplugs/earmuffs are worn correctly, often employees will end up removing them if they need to communicate. Custom filtered hearing protection removes this, by blocking dangerous levels of noise but allowing for safe communication.

3. Cost & environmentally effective

Disposable hearing protection should be thrown away after being removed from the ear, meaning 100 employees could go through 400 pairs a day. While custom hearing protection may cost more initially, you will save money in the long term.

Hearing protection that's cost effective & environmentally friendly

Custom hearing protection may feel like it's a large initial outlay, but consider how many pairs of disposable protection your employees go through in a day. Within 18 months, protection guaranteed for 6 years is well worth it
The environmental impact of foam earplugs shouldn't be overlooked - over 1 billion ear plugs end up in landfills every year - and they're not biodegradable

Qualitative Fit Testing For Hearing Protection:

Are your employees getting value out of their hearing protection?

The Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) on an earplug is a number achieved under laboratory conditions and doesn't usually equal how much protection your employees will receive. We call it Not Really Relevant.

Instead, an employee should be fit tested to calculate Personal Attenuation Rating (PAR). The PAR helps you find out if your employees are using their hearing protection correctly. Find out more about fit testing below!

"Substantially less disruptive to our production needs"

The implementation of onsite individual testing as opposed to the trailer batch testing version we utilized in my previous 20+ years has proven to be substantially less disruptive to our production needs at the same time making the scheduling of test subjects much easier to administer.

“Your system works wonders for record keeping”

"The best part is the customer service."

My company use to struggle to juggle having the van/trucks on-site using a different audiogram service. It would be a hectic day of keeping 4 people out and away from production at once, not to mention that the testing would always come back that we needed re-testing from being outside. With Anadyne the testing dates are set, we work out the times that work well for the site, the staff is extremely helpful and understanding and meeting our unique circumstances. The best part is the customer service, whenever I have a question, Wayne and his team have always given me a callback or answered the phone promptly when you have time-sensitive business that is a must. Anadyne is willing to come during any shift we have needed, finding someone to come out when it is best for your company is the absolute best for manufacturing.
