Protect Your Employees From Hearing Loss
Safety professionals have a universal challenge in protecting the hearing of their noise-exposed employees: How much protection do their employees actually achieve with their ear plugs? U.S. Mobile Health Exams makes it easy to get an accurate, real-world picture of your employees’ hearing protection. Ear plug fit testing provides a formal metric from which one can determine whether employees are receiving optimal protection for their noise environment using their current protection.
- We bring onsite screening units staffed by fully trained professionals to you.
- Each employee tested will receive a Personal Attenuation Rating (PAR) determining the effectiveness of the current ear protection.
- Safety managers receive an easy to understand report of each employee’s results downloadable to a variety of formats.
- Our fit experts will help determine if your employee needs additional training with their earplugs or need to try a different model.
- Safety managers and employees will receive printed material to assist in training for proper ear plug fit.
- Optional one on one training from one of our ear plug fit experts as determined by their results.

| Challenge | Description | Key Actions |
|---|---|---|
| Workers With Significant Shift in Hearing or At-Risk for Further Occupational Hearing Loss | Annual audiogram and follow-up evaluations have documented that the employees have sustained significant shift in hearing or have been identified as being “at-risk” of further hearing loss. | Provide U.S. Mobile Health Exams fit test for workers with a significant shift in hearing to ensure proper selection and fit of earplugs. Review the on-screen training video to model proper fitting techniques. Use this as a teaching moment and determine additional personalized hearing protector tactics for at-risk workers. |
| Earplug Selection | Attenuation provided by earplugs and earmuffs should be appropriate for the noise level and workplace requirements/applications, as well as worker comfort. | Create a group of workers to trial new earplugs and evaluate them against their current earplugs. Run this group through U.S. Mobile Health Exams’ Quick Check to determine if current/new earplugs provide proper attenuation. |
| Standardized Protection Levels | Some companies mandate that employees in specific areas achieve a minimum amount of attenuation. | Hearing Conservation Program manager identifies minimum attenuation required for each area of facility. Using the Quick Check, each employee evaluates their protection with current earplugs. |
