Effective hearing protection should be comfortable, effective, and yet still enable people to talk to one another. Custom Protect Ear’s hearing protection devices are designed to be soft and flexible. They are made of medical grade silicone. The advantage of the softer devices is better comfort and function. Hearing protection that changes shape slightly as the wearer’s ear canal changes shape moving. When talking and chewing they continue to hold a seal. Greater comfort addresses a significant problem facing health and safety managers who oversee hearing loss prevention programs. Makes it easy to get your people wearing hearing protection products without having to keep policing their use.
Including a filter and vent in custom ear protectors like Custom Protect Ear’s can make speech more understandable by reducing attenuation at higher speech frequencies. This allows them to be left in while talking and isn’t possible with typical solid foam earplugs. Talking by a two-way radio is also common in manufacturing settings. But because a radio must be louder than factory noise for a worker to hear it, it usually is the loudest sound source in the work setting, which must be protected against to avoid hearing loss.
To deal with this problem, Custom Protect Ear connects incoming radio audio to the outside of the hearing protector so the device’s filter reduces decibel volume. The worker does not have to remove the hearing protector during his or her shift. The proprietary filters “squeeze” high and low frequencies to block potentially harmful sound waves, communication comes through, but harmful noise does not.
