INTEGRAfit

Workers in many industries are exposed to noise throughout their workday. Regulations and best practices require the use of hearing protection for those exposed to higher levels of noise (exceeding 85db) during a typical 8-hour workday. While the wearing of hearing protection is mandated for high levels of noise exposure, the actual attenuation (noise reduction) achieved varies widely from individual to individual. Hearing protection compliance is difficult and is mainly limited to visual observation. In addition, training on the proper fitting and selection of hearing protection devices is time consuming and subjective. INTEGRAfit offers a fast, easy, and cost-effective method of determining the best hearing protection device to use for an individual. Achieving adequate hearing protection is not simple. It depends upon: - The proper fit and comfort of the hearing protection device (HPD) - Training the employee to properly use HPDs - Consistent and proper use of the HPDs by the employee INTEGRAfit is a hardware/software solution for the measurement of noise reduction as the worker wears their hearing protection devices. - No more guessing - measure it! - Light and portable - No hearing booth is required - Quick setup with no bulky computer equipment or communication cables - Designed and calibrated to be used with a special set of headphones (sold separately by Workplace INTEGRA) - No more reliance on NRR ratings which can be inaccurate for any one individual - Testing takes less than 3 minutes - Powerful tool to train workers on how to correctly use hearing protection - Data could be useful in work-related determinations - The best leading indicator of HCP effectiveness - Individual and group reports - Works with any brand of earplug on the market, including custom plugs - Data collected from INTEGRAfit for iPad can be imported into the Workplace Applications software suite - Includes compliance and training modes - HPD Fit Testing has been endorsed through Best Practice Statements by the National Hearing Conservation Association (NHCA) and OSHA **NOTE** INTEGRAfit for iPad requires the use of a calibrated headset.
