Hearing is one of our most valuable senses. It’s what connects us to the world around us. As an employer who’s concerned about a safe working environment, providing proper hearing protection for your employees will yield both immediate and long term results.
Please visit our resources page for further information about choosing appropriate hearing protection and properly using and caring for it.
Hearing Protection Choices & Suppliers
We keep a variety of different hearing protection examples on display to assist employers and employees in choosing appropriate protection. We will research alternative solutions if we don’t have the most appropriate one on display and provide the worker with advice about how to obtain it.
Custom Hearing Protection
What It Is
These are earplugs made specifically for your ear’s shape to provide maximum comfort. Furthermore, they are custom made for the level of noise that you work in most often to ensure that you receive adequate protection, but not over protection. Yes, there are problems with over protection (i.e. inability to communicate well, less awareness of warning signals, increased likely hood of not wearing hearing protection)
How It’s Made
We take an impression of your ear right in the mobile test unit. This takes about 10 minutes. Then we ship it to the custom hearing protection manufacturer. Within a few weeks, we deliver the ear plugs to you with instructions on care and use. The plugs are guaranteed to fit comfortably.
