Hearing protection technologies

  • worker with hard hat and ear muffs looking away
    Passive hearing protection

    Passive hearing protectors help reduce the noise by mechanically blocking the sound waves. They are ideal for situations with continuous noise levels and when communication is not critical.

  • worker on wind tower wearing active hearing protection and safety helmet
    Electronic hearing protection

    Electronic hearing protectors use smart technology to help workers hear their environment and/or communicate with others in noise.  These solutions are ideal in intermittent noise and/or when communication is critical.
