•informative articles written by Honeywell audiologists based on their experience hosting hundreds of seminars about preventing job-related hearing loss
•educational videos on the auditory system, the personal effects of NIHL, the importance of fit testing
•a “noise thermometer” infographic that quickly communicates the impact of exposure to both on- and off-the-job sources of noise by mapping the sound levels to a thermometer illustration
•an interactive “noise wheel” explaining the factors, such as fit, protection, size and comfort, to consider when choosing hearing protection products
•hearing protector fit instructions, illustrations, tips and videos demonstrating the proper wear and use of earplugs and earmuffs
•maintenance and care information for earplugs and earmuffs to ensure the effectiveness of hearing protectors
•details of Honeywell’s VeriPRO earplug fit-testing system which enables safety managers to easily create an accurate, real-world picture of their employees’ hearing protection
