Ohana Hearing Care is also offering dB Blockers, which is a custom made personally fitted noise protection device.
Why Choose/Use db Blockers?
Comfort
The dB Blockers™ are made to fit the individual’s ear exactly, this gives the worker a product that they can wear all day long, while receiving “REAL WORLD” (what the wearer actually receives) attenuation. dB Blockers™ are made from the Skinsoft™ blend of medical grade silicones, which is as soft and flexible as your own skin.
Compliance
One of the problems of any hearing conservation program is getting people to wear hearing protectors and policing their use. With dB Blockers™ this is easy. Because if they are comfortable, workers wear their HPD’s. They only fit the correct way, like a key in a lock so it is not necessary to check insertion. Compliance is easier because the coloured exterior makes it simple for safety officers to check compliance.
Communication
The proprietary frequency tuned filter allows communication without removal. People can communicate in noise better while wearing their dB Blockers™ than if they were to remove them.
Cost
dB Blockers are much less expensive to use than disposable earplugs or muffs. The cost per month for dB Blockers (3 x 10¢/pair) is lower because you can wear them for 5 years. The purchase cost for disposable earplugs is at least 30¢/day or $6.30 per month for each wearer. This is at least 3 times the cost of dB Blockers.
