Howard Leight Earplugs
Howard Leight is the industry's unchallenged ruler for in-ear hearing protection. As the leader in innovation, Howard Leight earplugs continually display new designs, materials and technologies that ensure the highest standards in protection and comfort for users.
Howard Leight is one of the largest global manufacturers of hearing protection, not only in the industrial market but in other industries including the health care and automotive markets.
Howard Leight offers the widest variety of earplugs ranging from a single-use earplug to more personalized products, continually raising the bar for performance, comfort, and innovation.
A commitment to hearing protection means taking into consideration multiple factors - like material, shape and size - to ensure proper fit. Depending on local requirements and user environments, Howard Leight Earplugs are divided into four different catagories.
First there are the Single-Use earplugs, which are made for for work situations that demand comfort, frequent changes or where reuse cannot be done due to hygiene issues.They are both economical and comfortable to use.The low-pressure polyurethane foam used in the single-use earplugs expands gently inside the ear canal for comfortable long-term wear. Its contoured T-shape ensures easy handling. The smooth and soil resistant, closed-cell foam skin does not allow dirt accumulation. Motorcycle enthusiasts, who have some knowledge about noise protection, recommend Howard Leight earplugs more often than any other brand. Single-use earplugs are generally used in the following industries: agriculture & farming, heavy construction, pulp & paper, airport ground crews, printing, automotive, steel, building construction and transportation.
Multi-use earplugs are used by workers who can retain and store earplugs for reuse over time.This reduces waste and saves money. Feature-wise, multi-use earplugs have a new four-flange design that creates better hold in the ear canal. They also create an interlocking barrier, blocking the noise within the air pocket created inside the ear. Thus, if inserted properly, they attenuates noise for all wearers.They come with a firm stem which helps with easy insertion and removal of the earplugs. This is recommended for users in industries such as aviation, warehousing and petrochemical.
The third category for Howard Leight earplugs is the Detectable earplugs. These are specially designed earplugs which are created for environments where foreign objects and contamination is objectionable. The differences in look when compared to Multiple-Use earplugs is the Detectable earplugs have softer and smoother flanges and has an attached cord with metal stem ring for easy detection by automated equipments. They can also be cleaned normally with soap and water and last for weeks of re-use. The industries that commonly use Detectable earplugs are food & beverage processing, lumber/wood products, paper and tobacco.
The fourth category of earplugs sold by Howard Leight are the Banded earplugs. These are specially designed earplugs which are used by people who are not in a noisy environment constantly but move in and out intermittently. Because of this reason, these earplugs come with semi-aural protection using super soft pods that rest outside the ear canal opening. It also provides multiple position wear, is pretty compact and can be folded and stored in a pocket. All these features ensure protection, comfort and ease for supervisors and workers who are in noisy areas intermittently. Industries where these work well are light manufacturing, landscaping and they are commonly used for visitors who come to factories or plants.
In addition to the four catagories of earplugs, Howard Leight has a patented dispensor system. These are permanent hearing protection centers that are very user-friendly and durable for long term usage. They are made of heavy-duty anodized aluminium to withstand constant use and are mounted on walls for easy access. A simple turn of the handle dispenses earplugs hygienically. These earplugs are ideal for large factories and process industries, where loud noise is inevitable and protection is a necessity.
As long as creation, innovation and excellence remains the core for Howard Leight earplugs, they will continue to reign in the industry.
What others say about Howard Leight Earplugs:
"I am not sure how I survived the first ten years of marriage without my earplugs! My husband is quite the loud snorer... and I am a VERY light sleeper. The slightest noises of any type wake me up and I didn't sleep much for a decade. I would be nudging him rolling him back onto his side throughout the night. Since I started using these Howard Leight Earplugs his life improved, too, since he was allowed to sleep comfortably on his back without me pushing at him all night. I can now sleep through all of those annoying things that used to wake me and the snoring doesn't bother me anymore."
"I wear ear plugs for riding my motorcycle and for clay shooting, and I have tried a bunch of different plugs. My ear canals must be crooked, because with many plugs it takes some effort to find a way to push them in properly; these Howard leight Earplugs just go in. Some other plugs would go in fine but would ease back out when I pull the helmet over my head, or while I am riding, this doesn't happen with these plugs.""The level of attenuation is appropriate, I have no complaints. I can still hear a conversation, but the wind and the engine noise and the gun blasts do not penetrate the plugs. Level of comfort is average, I wouldn't say that the plugs are softer or in any other way more or less comfortable than the others that I have tried. You should follow the advise to what the instruction says. Remove the plugs in a slow twisting motion otherwise, the vacuum will hurt your ears and may even break an eardrum."
"I suffer from insomnia, and these plugs really work. Since using Howard Leight Earplugs, I no longer take prescription sleep medication. If I do wake up, I can readily fall back to sleep. These are a God send because the prescriptions did not always work or allow me to sleep all night, and these are much cheaper."
