        HEARING PROTECTION

        The Wave Band™ from Moldex-Metric Inc. is designed for situations that require users to remove and replace their hearing protection frequently. Worn under the chin, its sleek design allows the band to float away from the wearer's body and clothing, creating freedom of movement and negating noise transmission.

            Sound Attenuation

            Precision AirConvey's inline sound attenuation devices have been documented to reduce sound pressure levels without sound attenuation from 95.5 dBA to 79.8 dBA when installed near the face—where most of the sound in a pneumatic conveying system is generated. The 16.4 percent reduction supports compliance with 29 CFR 1910.95.

              Disposable Ear Plugs

              Moldex-Metric Inc.'s Meteors® disposable ear plugs feature an undercut shape and a 100 percent PVC-free, slow-recovery foam that is specifically designed to mold with the individual contours of any ear canal. The plugs have an independently tested NRR of 33 and a soft, smooth surface that will not irritate the skin.


                Hearing Conservation

                Larson Davis Inc.'s CORTI® software and services are designed to identify at-risk employees and improve performance of hearing conservation programs. Its easy-to-use statistical analysis tools leverage users' data and correlates changes in Hearing Threshold Levels to workers' noise exposure data, allowing for continuous HCP improvement to be implemented.

                Sound Monitor

                Extech Instruments' new SL130 Sound Level Monitor features both internal alarm illumination and external alarm output. Designed for worker safety compliance, the monitor is ideal for industrial environments--such as factories, plants, refineries, and mills--where there is a need to generate an alert when sound levels exceed a pre-set limit.


                  Howard Leight

                  Attenuation Study

                  A recent field attenuation study by Howard Leight's Acoustical Laboratory found that one-on-one training is the most significant factor in predicting good ear plug performance. Of the more than 100 workers tested, one-third achieved attenuations higher than the published NRR for their ear plugs.
