The challenge of hearing protection

Millions of workers are exposed to hearing hazards every year, and even though OSHA regulations and NIOSH recommendations in the U.S. require protection, occupational hearing loss is still the number one reported worker illness in manufacturing.

You can advance your hearing conservation program with a customized and comprehensive approach to the hearing protection challenge. Implementing a solution that really makes a difference begins with an understanding of the hazards, the regulations, and the factors that impact protection.

How to use

Fitting Instructions

  1. ROLL and compress foam plugs into a very thin crease-free cylinder.
  2. REACH around the head to pull the ear outward and upward to help straighten the ear canal. Insert compressed plug well into the ear canal.
  3. CHECK FIT after inserting plug.
  4. LISTEN to steady loud noise with plugs in both ears. Cover ears with tightly cupped hands. Noise should sound about the same whether or not ears are covered.

*CAUTION: For greater comfort and safety, remove plug slowly with twisting motion to gradually break the seal.
