60 Hearing Protection How do you decide what Hearing Protection you will offer to your workers? If you are simply using the NRR found on the box of earplugs as a guide you may not be providing adequate protection levels for every worker. Ears come in many shapes and sizes and to make sure all workers are getting the protection they need, you need to know their Personal Attenuation Rating (PAR). Pass. A “pass” result means the hearing protection is inserted properly and provides sufficient protection for the worker’s specific job. Fail. A “fail” result means the hearing protection is either not inserted properly or is the wrong type or size for the worker’s ear canal. 29 dB 10 dB What’s your PAR? Every employee is different. Every job is different. Every ear is different. Finding each employee’s PAR will help you have assurance that workers’ hearing is protected and they are compliant with the law.
