Hearing Protection Equipment from Howard Leight by Sperian

Pilot to safety with Howard Leight

Noise-induced hearing loss is 100% preventable, yet every year over two millions of Australians suffer industrial deafness due to wearing improperly fitted earplugs.

As part of their commitment to reducing noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), Howard Leight, the world leader in hearing protection equipment, has released the Pilot™, a new hybrid push-in style earplug.

With a range of features engineered to deliver a higher degree of comfort and safety, the new Pilot™ push-in style earplug is the practical alternative to roll down foam models, and can be used over several days or shifts without impacting its overall performance.

Combining the high performance of the multiple-use Quiet® model with its patented non-roll design, together with the superior comfort of the bell-shaped single use Max®, the Pilot™ earplug delivers outstanding comfort and control over the fit.

Featuring a smooth pear-skinned surface for enhanced resilience against dirt build-up, the Pilot™ is the easy to clean and hygienic earplug compared to others which can have coarser skins and may collect dirt and contaminants more easily, making the Pilot™ ideal for use in dirty environments.

To ensure maximum comfort and ease of insertion, the Pilot™ push-in style earplug also utilises Howard Leight's patented slow recovery polyurethane foam tip. And with a Foam / Stem Ratio (FSR) of 80% foam to 20% stem in its construction - nearly 20% more foam than its nearest competitor - the Pilot™ is unquestionably the most comfortable push-in style earplug on the market

Easy to insert thanks to a moulded 'navigation' stem which glides the earplug into the ear canal for a quick, snug and comfortable fit, the Pilot™ also eliminates ear irritation sometimes associated with hybrid push-in earplugs. Engineered with a very small cross-sectional diameter, with a hollow and flexible design, the stem of the Pilot™ is not intended to be felt in the ear at all.

With a SLC80 23dB Class 4 rating, the Pilot™ push-in style earplug provides ideal and consistent hearing protection in any noise environment from 100dB to less than 105dB.

For added safety and convenience, the Pilot™ push-in style earplug is available as a corded and non-corded, and is certified to AS / NZ 1270:2002 standards.

For outstanding hearing protection, rely on the new Pilot™ push-in earplug from Howard Leight.
