Industrial Custom Hearing Protection for Employees

 
Benefits Of Custom Hearing Protection

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.

 

Custom Hearing Protection: Best Way to Prevent Hearing Injuries


Ear protection that fits just right

  • Fits all types of ears
  • Comfortable, snug, and secure - all shift long
  • Design allows double protection under ear muffs

Hearing protection worn correctly & consistently

  • Since it fits right, custom hearing protection is more likely to be worn the entire time an employee is exposed to noise
  • Filtered custom hearing protection doesn't need to be removed to communicate, which is critical to ensuring employees are truly protected

Ear protection that allows employees to communicate

  • Filtered custom hearing protection means your employees don't have to be exposed to dangerous noise to communicate
  • Radio/Bluetooth hearing protection options for those who need advanced communication capabilities
  • Reduces risk of not hearing warning signals, etc

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!
