The company will occupy Booth #1401. Developed in conjunction with the House Ear Institute (www.hei.org), VeriPRO measures real-world attenuation of unmodified earplugs. VeriPRO has been adopted by a number of major manufacturers in the aerospace, steel, and pharmaceutical industries as a means to improve individual employee training and enhance the overall effectiveness of hearing conservation programs. With VeriPRO, safety managers can ensure employees are getting the most out of their hearing protection devices. Consisting of software package, audiometrically optimized headphones, and special audio processor, VeriPRO can be used with any earplug model. VeriPRO provides an excellent tool to improve both individual training, which studies have shown to be the most effective means of improving earplug attenuation, and overall hearing conservation program effectiveness.
