Ear canal size and shape vary from person to person, so a hearing protector that works well for one employee may not provide the intended level of protection for another. Poor fit can lead to under protection, increasing the risk of noise-induced hearing loss.
No two ear canals are the same. Why should earplugs be?
Help your workforce achieve the intended level of hearing protection, with a fit that feels secure, comfortable and easy to wear.
Every ear canal is different
The right fit, made simple.
Not every worker finds traditional earplugs easy to fit correctly. Rolling foam earplugs, inserting them accurately and achieving a consistent seal can be challenging, particularly for new users, glove wearers or those who only wear hearing protection intermittently.
The uvex xact-fit range has been designed to help wearers achieve a secure, consistent fit quickly and easily, supporting comfort, compliance and confidence in noisy working environments.

Are your employees getting the protection you think they are?
Without fit testing, it is difficult to know whether each wearer is achieving the expected level of noise reduction from their earplugs. The uvex xact-fit test system measures the actual noise reduction each wearer receives, helping employers confirm the protection is right for the person, the product and the noise environment.
Fast, reliable and easy to use, the system helps identify poor fit, under protection and over protection. It supports evidence-based PPE selection and provides clear results via a cloud-based system to strengthen compliance and protect hearing health. The portable, open-system design also supports compatibility with virtually any earplug on the market.
Benefits of fit testing
- Verify protection levels achieved by each wearer
- Identify under protected and over protected workers
- Support evidence-based PPE selection
- Test large numbers of employees quickly
- Strengthen hearing conservation programmes
