Hearing Protector Device Compendium
Hearing Protector Devices
The Hearing Protector Device Compendium is a comprehensive searchable database of
hearing protection devices. This web tool was created by the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health to help workers and safety professionals select
the most appropriate product for their unique environment. The tool identifies hearing
protector devices by type, manufacturer, and noise exposure level. It also explains
essential product features, including desired noise reduction ratings, mean attenuations,
standard deviations of attenuations, protector construction and materials, and other
features that can aid the selection of protectors for specific situations.
Many
companies that were listed in the previous compendium have merged with other companies
or have ceased to manufacturer or sell hearing protectors. In the pursuit of completeness
all other manufacturers are invited to submit their data. For information on participation
please click on the “About the Compendium” link at the top right of this page.
