Clearer hearing
August 1st 2008 Following the announcement
of the extension of the
Control of Noise at Work
Regulations to the
entertainment industry
E·A·R (an AEARO brand)
thought carefully about how
it would meet new demand
for hearing protection.
The findings of a market
survey E·A·R commissioned
discovered that the industry
split into two distinct camps:
"If we need to wear
hearing protection, we will
openly display it." For them
exisitng products from E·A·R
designed for lower noise
levels would be fine.
"It needs to be discreet."
For a user in a bar or music
venue, bright, prominent
hearing protection used
elsewhere might not be
appropriate." For these users
E·A·R worked with leading
music venues and pub and
club chains and developed
ClearE·A·R 20, as an
inexpensive, long life,
discreet product specifically
for the entertainment
industry.
