New push-in ear plug

Howard Leight by Sperian have launched a new push-in ear plug for occupational hearing protection. The new Pilot ear plug features an innovative hybrid design that combines the performance and cost savings of the Quiet multiple-use ear plug, with the comfort of the Max single-use ear plug to deliver long-wearing comfort and total control over fit.

The company has harnessed its knowledge of people-oriented comfort and polyurethane foam technology to provide workers with the next level of comfort, fit and hearing protection in an ear plug.

Pilot’s ergonomic design provides instant hearing protection upon proper insertion, and defends against additional occupational noise hazards by offering:

• Fit - Pilot inserts easily into the ear with a simple fingertip twist of the non-obtrusive navigation stem for a quick, snug and comfortable fit. Pilot’s no-roll insertion delivers instant protection on proper insertion and there is no wait for the fit to be complete.
• Comfort - Pilot’s soft, pearl-skinned polyurethane foam is resilient and easy-to-clean, delivering reliable, long-wearing performance. The Pilot push-in ear plug adapts to the shape of the ear canal for a more comfortable fit – for eight minutes or eight hours of hearing protection.
• Protection - With an SNR rating of 26, Pilot provides consistent hearing protection and ensures appropriate attenuation in medium- to low-noise environments (95dB or less).
• Multi-day use - Pilot push-in ear plugs can be used for up to several working days/shifts without impacting its overall performance and delivers an improved cost-benefit for safety managers who need to manage tight PPE budgets.
