Hearing Protection Equipment Tests

Headband Headphones, Insertion Loss

When making hearing protection performance measurements, it is generally preferred to comply with industry standards. Ideally, standards help ensure that hearing protection equipment is tested in a meaningful and reproducible way.

The best protection to be provided in working environments is to eliminate the danger by eliminating the need to work with tools or environments that create these noise exposures. However, this is not always possible. It is best to reduce the noise levels that employees are exposed to. There are some tools and machines designed to operate at low decibels and the risk of hearing loss is reduced in this way. In addition, administrative controls are in place, such as setting a limit on the time an employee works in a high decibel environment or limiting the hours of work with certain vehicles and equipment.

However, the last line of protection is to use personal protective equipment that meets the hearing protection requirements set by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), an agency affiliated with the US Department of Labor. Earplugs provide a high level of protection against hearing loss by reducing decibel exposures as long as they are worn correctly. Some high decibel exposures may be unavoidable to perform the tasks required for operations.

The EN 352 standard, which is a European standard, describes safety rules and test methods within the scope of hearing protectors. In our country, this series of standards has been published by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) under the heading of Hearing protectors - General rules as follows:

  • TS EN 352-1 Ear closers
  • TS EN 352-2 Earplugs
  • TS EN 352-3 Protective earmuffs worn on an industrial safety helmet
  • TS EN 352-4 Level ear closers
  • TS EN 352-5 Active noise reduction ear closures
  • TS EN 352-6 Ear plugs with electrical sound input
  • TS EN 352-7 Level dependent headphones

Our organization also provides headband headphones, insertion loss testing services within the framework of hearing protection equipment testing services.
