“We Hear You”
INTRODUCING THE SONOCUSTOM™ A revolutionary custom-fitted, reusable earplug with a system that verifies the sound protection and provides a written report in minutes.
Sonomax Hearing Healthcare, based in Montreal Canada, is dedicated to preventing the incidence of Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) by developing leading edge hearing protection products and by working to raise public awareness of the unacceptable toll NIHL has on family and industry alike. The answer is the Sonomax Solution™, a hearing protection system that combines a uniquely designed earpiece, the SonoCustom™, with an optimised proprietary hardware and software application, called SonoPass™. This application drives the fitting process, confirms the acoustic seal, calibrates the level of sound attenuation and records the results. This simple onthe-spot procedure allows an Implementer to deliver hearing protection that is custom-fitted to the user and functionally tested for reliability. The process is very simple and only takes a few minutes, no ear impressions are required. SUPPORTING HEARING CONSERVATION
The application provides employers the unique ability to quantify and track hearing protection performance and produce detailed reports. The collected data can support an effective and comprehensive hearing conservation program. WHERE TRADITIONAL HEARING PROTECTION BREAKS DOWN
The alarming increase in NIHL over the past three decades has occurred despite the aggressive introduction and mandatory use in many workplaces of various types of modern hearing protection devices (HPDs). Improper fit — Every person’s ear is different. Effective hearing protection requires an acoustic seal. Without it, noise leakage will compromise performance. Lack of comfort — HPDs can’t work if people don’t wear them or wear them properly. Workers need to communicate and hear warning signals — Even short periods with hearing protection removed for a conversation exposes the worker to the risk of NIHL. Over protection means the worker is isolated from important audio signals and messages. Lack of verification — A HPDs protection rating is assigned after a laboratory, objective test. Variation in shape and size of ear canals leaves a large question mark over the actual protection obtained for an individual. THE SONOMAX SOLUTION™
A first in the history of occupational health and safety, the Sonocustom™ is a product, deliverable on a mass scale to specifically overcome barriers to effectiveness of HPDs. The Perfect Fit — The SonoCustom™ provides a perfect acoustic seal because they are precision custom fitted on the spot in a simple procedure that eliminates the need for ear impressions. So Comfortable — Coupled with a custom fit process the SonoCustom™ is made from soft hypoallergenic material. They fit perfectly without friction or pressure points and can be worn 100% of the time. You Can Hear! — The SonoCustom™ can be fitted with passive acoustic filters that allow the user to hear communication and signals without the need to remove the HPDs. There is also no risk of over protection. Proof of Effectiveness — The SonoPass™ Software drives the fitting process and tests each hearing protectors performance, while in the user’s ear. In only a few minutes the user leaves with not only new customised HPD’s but with documented test results showing the SonoCustom™ person protection level for their own ears, not an estimate based on the average ear.
SonoPass™ which drives the fitting process, confirms the acoustic seal, calibrates the level of sound attenuation achieved and records the results.
