VeriPRO’s three-part process checks the effectiveness of a user’s earplug fit in each ear, over a range of frequencies. This information is captured in reports, allowing you to ensure compliance with OSHA standards.
Unlike typical audiometric tests, which measure the softest level at which a listener can hear a tone, VeriPRO utilizes a relative measurement of hearing level. The loudness of a tone in one ear is balanced to a tone in the opposite ear at a known level. This unique “loudness-balance” method allows an accurate hearing test to be performed with normal background noise levels found in a typical office or worksite – no special sound booth or accommodations are needed.
Based on the results, VeriPRO calculates the amount of attenuation at each frequency in each ear and displays a Personal Attenuation Rating (PAR) for each ear. The user knows exactly how much attenuation he/she is getting from their earplugs the instant they are fitted.
