Not being able to hear clearly because of over the ear hearing protection is a major problem in the industry. When trying to communicate with your colleagues at a noisy worksite it can not only be really dangerous but also frustrating and annoying.
These factors, combined with sweaty ears from earmuffs and discomfort in combination with other PPE makes traditional hearing protection not the ideal option for workers nowadays.
The need for a discreet small hearing protector is obvious for many building/mining sectors.
Foam plugs seem to be a quick solution but those are often uncomfortable to wear and are single-use. which doesn’t make them a very economical solution or environmentally friendly option.
So, what is out there that can improve the quality of standard hearing protection for work sites?
Custom made, filtered hearing protection could be the perfect hearing protection solution for you and your co-workers!
