How it works

Step 1

Discussing your needs

As a first step, we discuss the specific hearing protection needs of your employees. This includes assessing the working environment, regulations, and level of noise protection required.

We'll also discuss which custom fitting method you'd like to choose - either ProFit, which is done onsite by our trained specialists, or SmartFit, which can be done by yourself using our online custom fitting tool.

Step 2

Custom fitting each employee

As Snugs are made to fit the unique shape of each ear, we'll need to create precise models for every employee. This can be done in two ways:

Option 1: On-site ProFit by a trained audiologist. This is the most accurate fit, but is more costly upfront.

Option 2: Remote SmartFit, which involves you custom fitting each employee yourself using our online tool. It's cheaper, but not as precise as ProFit.

Step 3

Creating reusable 3D ear models

Once we have either the physical impressions (from an on-site ProFit) or ear measurements (from a remote SmartFit), we can create reusable 3D models of each employees' ears.

These are use to then print each pair of their Snugs.

And as they're a model, we can reuse them as many times as needed to print replacement pairs and even make adjustments for a looser or tighter fit.

Step 4

Printing and quality control

In this final step, we print each pair of Snugs individually, apply a lacquer, insert the chosen filter and do quality control before packaging them up.

If they pass quality control, we'll ship them right away with the relevant employees name included.

If they fail quality control, we'll re-make them until they pass.

Adjustments

30 day remake guarantee

We understand how important it is for your employees to feel comfortable wearing their Snugs.

After all, they could be wearing them for long periods.

Once they receive them and try them out, if the fit isn't perfect and needs to be either looser or tighter, just let us know and we'll re-model and re-make them another pair.

FAQs

Questions about reusable workplace hearing protection.

If you can't find an answer to your question or have specific needs, please send us an enquiry.

What is hearing protection?

Hearing protection is essential for safeguarding your hearing from harmful noises. It includes devices like earplugs, earmuffs, and canal caps that help reduce the intensity of sound entering the ear canal.

Why is hearing protection important?

Hearing protection is crucial for preserving your hearing health. Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is irreversible and can significantly impact your ability to hear and communicate. Protecting your ears from excessive noise levels is essential to prevent NIHL.

What are the different types of hearing protection?

Hearing protection comes in various forms, including earplugs, earmuffs, and canal caps. Earplugs are inserted into the ear canal, while earmuffs cover the entire ear. Canal caps are custom-molded devices that fit snugly in the ear canal.

How to choose the right hearing protection?

Selecting the right hearing protection involves considering several factors. Assess the noise levels you’ll encounter, the activities you’ll engage in, and your comfort preferences. Different types of hearing protection offer varying levels of noise reduction and comfort.

How to use hearing protection properly?

Proper use of hearing protection is crucial for effective noise reduction. Ensure earplugs are inserted deeply into the ear canal and earmuffs completely cover your ears. Wear hearing protection consistently throughout your exposure to loud noises. Remember the importance of selecting comfortable hearing protection.

Is the a minimum order quantity?

There is not a minimum order quantity. However, you may benefit from discounts for higher order volumes!

What filters do you offer?

We have a range of attenuated filters available (maximum 30dB), and can supply whichever is most suited to the noise levels in your workplace. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
