Brand New Ear Plug Fitting Video

Brand New Ear Plug Fitting Video

Fitting your ear protection correctly is very important to prevent noise induced hearing loss.  You can have the best hearing protection available, but if users don’t fit them properly there is little point wearing them. For this reason we have developed a brand new animated ear plug fitting video.

The new video shows ProtectHear® users how to fit ProtectHear® custom moulded ear plugs properly.

The video is designed to help people who are new to the product, better understand the fitting and removal process. The cleaning process is also shown, in the video. It clearly explains how users can maintain their ear plugs to the highest possible standard.

This video expands on an earlier video we released re ‘The ProtectHear® Process’, which shows how the ear impressions are taken and how the ear plug moulds are manufactured.

Both of these videos can be found on the ProtectHear® YouTube Channel.

Savings of £405 per employee can be made by switching from disposables to ProtectHear®.

Over 360 million of the world’s population have disabling hearing loss. It can also affect in Adults balance, mental health and risk of dementia. There are 4 types of hearing loss which are Auditory Processing Disorders, Conductive Hearing Loss, Sensorineural and mixed.

Using ear protection in a work or a social situation would be a solution to protecting your hearing from further damage. Also not inserting anything into the ears as this could make the loss worse. If any of the discussed applies then it is recommended to see a GP to see what they can advise.

If hearing aids aren’t appropriate then implants can be inserted into the ear. Alternatively if the hearing loss is too severe then sign language or lip reading may need adopting.
