(GunReports.com) — Honeywell’s new Howard Leight FirmFit earplugs feature a softer, more comfortable fit and better noise protection than the leading classic-style foam earplugs.
Howard Leight FirmFit Earplugs were engineered to enhance the wearing experience for individuals who prefer a firmer fit in order to “feel” their earplugs in their ears, and who are accustomed to the familiar cylindrical or barrel-shaped earplug.
“The new Howard Leight FirmFit earplugs are significantly more comfortable, provide more effective hearing protection, and exert less pressure in your ear canal than the older foam models that workers have used for years,” said Rachel Newport, senior product marketing manager, Honeywell Safety Products. “The bottom line is this: The more comfortable the earplug, the longer workers will wear it. That’s more protection for employees — and greater compliance for safety managers — a win-win for everyone.”
Independent lab tests revealed that compared to classic foam earplugs, the new Howard Leight FirmFit earplugs are:
- 40% softer than the leading classic-style foam earplugs;
- More comfortable with less pressure in the ear canal, due to 29% lower expansion pressure;
- The best-in-class for noise protection, with the highest attenuation, 30 NRR dB, in the category.
In addition, FirmFit is easy to roll down and insert, with plenty of time to adjust for a proper fit; bright orange in color for high-visibility identification; and available in corded and uncorded versions.
