Instant hearing protection assessments
28 June 2016
Castle Group has launched a new sound meter, the Castle dBAir Safety, which comes with built-in access to a Hearing Protection Database.

With this feature, the user will instantly be shown how much protection an operator can expect when using any particular hearing protection. For the sake of an operator’s hearing, better protection can only be a good thing, but assigning the correct hearing protection to an operator can be a challenge.
It is possible to pick a hearing protector model and see how it performs, or you can list all the models in order of their protected levels – then you have a list of potential protectors for that task. When measurements are completed, they’re automatically sent to the web-hosted Castle Cloud software, where users will be shown a selection of suitable hearing protection.
The Castle Cloud provides quick, safe and comprehensive data-management direct from the instrument allowing for easy sharing of data and the security of automatic back-up. Free demonstrations are available.
