Attenuation Testing

Services

Did you know that NIOSH estimates real world attenuation rates of ear plugs to be less than 50% of the NRR? The low effectiveness is mostly due to ill-fitting plugs and inadequate training. We are very excited to offer a new service that can dramatically improve the effectiveness of your employees' hearing protectors.

Using 3M E-A-RFit technology, we can precisely measure, without any subjectivity, how much noise each employee's protectors block to determine the "personal attenuation rating" or PAR. Our goal is that each employee leave testing knowing what protectors to use and how to use them. So, we don't take just one test and move on. In cases where the protectors are not blocking as much as they should, we train the employee to better use the protector and retest until he or she achieves an acceptable attenuation or we have them try different style protectors until the best one is found.

In addition to providing on-site reports for each test, we offer the results of these tests on our MyTKGroup extranet.
